To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion using the information given:
Length1 / Width1 = Length2 / Width2
Plugging in the values, we get:
34 / 2 = 4 / x
Now, cross multiply and solve for x:
34 * x = 2 * 4
34x = 8
x = 8 / 34
x = 0.235
Therefore, the width of a rectangle whose length is 4 in this set of rectangles is approximately 0.235.
Length1 / Width1 = Length2 / Width2
Plugging in the values, we get:
34 / 2 = 4 / x
Now, cross multiply and solve for x:
34 * x = 2 * 4
34x = 8
x = 8 / 34
x = 0.235
Therefore, the width of a rectangle whose length is 4 in this set of rectangles is approximately 0.235.
