The ratio of the length to the width of a rectangle is 2:3.the width is 12cm. Find the length

Answer 1

To find the length of the rectangle, we first need to determine the ratio of the length to the width.

Given that the ratio of the length to the width is 2:3 and the width is 12 cm, we can set up the proportion:

2/3 = x/12

Solving for x (the length):
2 * 12 = 3x
24 = 3x
x = 24/3
x = 8

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 8 cm.
