Question
A rectangle has a length of 3.4 ft. and a width of 5.7 ft. A larger similar rectangle has a length of 17 ft. What is the width of the larger rectangle?(1 point)
To find the width of the larger rectangle, we can set up a proportion.
Let x be the width of the larger rectangle.
3.4/5.7 = 17/x
Cross multiply:
3.4x = 5.7 * 17
3.4x = 96.9
Divide by 3.4:
x = 28.5
Therefore, the width of the larger rectangle is 28.5 ft.
