The ratio of length to width of a rectangular garden is 6:7 . If the perimeter of the rectangle is 78 meters, what is the area of the garden in square meters?
Correct answer: D. 378
- A. 274
- B. 326
- C. 352
- D. 378
Explanation
The ratio of the length to the width of the garden is 6:7. Let the common factor be 'x', so the length is 6x and the width is 7x. The perimeter of the rectangle is given by the formula 2(length + width). Therefore:2(6x + 7x) = 26x = 78Solving for 'x' gives:x = 78 / 26 = 3Thus, the length is 6 * 3 = 18 meters and the width is 7 * 3 = 21 meters.The area of the garden is calculated as:Area = length * width = 18 * 21 = 378 square meters.Therefore, Option D, 378, is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect as they do not align with the correct calculations based on the given information.
