The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio of 4:5. If the width is 28 in., find the length, the perimeter, and the area of this rectangle.

If the width is 28 inches, then divide that by 4 and you get 7. You multiply that by 5 to get the length. That would be 35. Just to check, you know that the width 28 and length 35 are in ratio 4:5 if you divide by 7. The perimeter would be 2 (35+28) = 63*2=126. So the perimeter is 126. The area would be 35*28 which is 980. To sum up, the answers are as follows.

Length: 35 in

Perimeter: 126 in

Area: 980 inches squared.
