Use ratio!The original rectangle is 70" X 32" (L X H)
If the length were reduced to 50", what would the height be?
Thank you Math Savants.
Are you supposed to keep the aspect ratio (so that the height is to be reduced in such a manner as to keep the picture the same, without stretching or squishing)? If so, use ratios, as the first reply suggested. Use them to set up a proportion, using the info the second reply provided:The original rectangle is 70" X 32" (L X H)
If the length were reduced to 50", what would the height be?
70 : 32
50 : ?
"You don't"... what? You don't know what ratios are? You don't know how to solve proportions? The picture isn't supposed to retain its aspect ratio, so the earlier hints don't apply? Or something else?I Dont...
Yes -- but your decimal approximation is not properly rounded.Is this the answer? 22.85
70x = 1600 is good.70x = 1600
70 = 1600/x
1600 \ 70X = 22.85
