A rectangle has a width of 5 meters and a length of 7 meters a similar rectangle has a width of 15 meters what is the length of the similar rectangle?

Respuesta :

Similar rectangles have or form similar ratios. Hence to solve this, you have to get the ratio of the measurements:
Let N be the length of the similar rectangle
  5/7 = 15/N
5(N) = 7(15) -> cross multiply
  5N = 105
 5N/5 = 105/5 -> divide both sides of the equation by 5
    N = 21
Therefore, 21 meters in the length of the similar rectangle
To check - 
5/7 = 15/21 (cross multiply)
105 = 105
