rectangular rug
A rectangular rug covers half the floor area of a rectangular floor that is 9ft wide and 12 ft long.If the dimensions of the rug are in the same ratio of these floor,how long is the rug ?
my solution:
let rug length =x
x*9=9*12/2
x=6
but my book's answer is 6sqrt(2)
why i am wrong ? where is the mistake i have commited ?
