Question

Write the Following Ratio in the Reduced Form.

The ratio of diagonal to the length of a rectangle, having length 4 cm and breadth 3 cm.

Sum

Solution

Length of the rectangle, l = 4 cm

Breadth of the rectangle, b = 3 cm

Now,

Diagonal of the rectangle = `sqrt [l^2 + b^2]`

= `sqrt [ 3^2 + 4^2]`

 = `sqrt [ 9 + 16]`

= `sqrt 25`

= `5  cm`

∴ Ratio of diagonal to the length of the rectangle = Diagonal of the rectangle : Length of the rectangle = 5 cm : 4 cm = 5 : 4.
