The length and the width of the rectangle is found as 15 and 35 units respectively.

Define the meaning of the term ratio?

  • When two or even more numbers are compared, the ratio shows how big one is in relation to the other.
  • The dividend and number being divided is referred to as the antecedent, and the divisor as well as number which is dividing is referred to as the consequent.
  • A ratio compares two numbers by division.

As per the given data-

  • A rectangle has a perimeter of 100 cm.
  • The length to breadth proportion is 7:3.

Let the length be 'x'.

The breadth be 'y'

x/y = 7/3

x = 7y/3

Perimeter = 2(length + breadth)

P = 2( x + y)

P = 2x + 2y

100 = 2(7/3) + 2y

On solving

10y = 150

y = 15 (breadth)

x = 35 (length)

Thus, the length and the width of the rectangle is found as 15 and 35 units respectively.
