a rectangle has a length of 3.4 ft and width of 5.7ft a large similar rectangle has a length of 17 ft hat is the width of the larger rectangle
To find the width of the larger rectangle, we can use the concept of proportionality between corresponding sides of similar figures.
The ratio of the lengths of the two rectangles is 17/3.4 = 5.
Therefore, the ratio of the widths of the two rectangles is also 5.
To find the width of the larger rectangle, we can multiply the width of the smaller rectangle by this ratio:
Width of larger rectangle = Width of smaller rectangle * Ratio
Width of larger rectangle = 5.7 ft * 5
Width of larger rectangle = 28.5 ft
Therefore, the width of the larger rectangle is 28.5 ft.
