Jamal is making two paintings using canvases that are similar rectangles. The length of the similar canvas is 3ft. and the width is 5 ft. What is the length of the larger canvas if the width is 10 ft.?
the answer is 6.the caravans are the double of each other so 3*2=6 so the length is 6
The length of the larger canvas is 6 ft.
"Two rectangles are similar if their length and width are proportional."
For given example,
the length of the smaller canvas (l) = 3 ft.
the width of the smaller canvas (w) = 5 ft.
the width of the larger canvas (W) = 10 ft.
We need to find the length of the larger canvas (L).
Since these rectangular canvases are similar, their sides are in proportion.
⇒ \(\frac{l}{L} = \frac{w}{W}\)
⇒ \(\frac{3}{L} = \frac{5}{10}\)
⇒ 3 × 10 = L × 5
⇒ 30 = L × 5
⇒ L = 30/5
⇒ L = 6 ft.
Therefore, the length of the larger canvas is 6 ft.
