a.
To find the rectangle that has the greatest ratio of length to width.
a.
Answer to Problem 42E
The rectangle C has the greatest ratio of length to width.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
The measure of the longer side is the length and the measure of the shorter side is the width of the rectangle.
From the given data of rectangles, it can be concluded that the rectangle with the shorter width and the longer length has the greatest ratio of length to width.
Therefore, it can be observed from the given figures of rectangles that the rectangle C has the greatest ratio of length to width because it has a shorter width and the longer length.
b.
To find the rectangle that has the ratio of length to width closest to
b.
Answer to Problem 42E
The rectangle B has theratio of length to width closest to
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
The measure of the longer side is the length and the measure of the shorter side is the width of the rectangle.
From the given data of rectangles, it can be concluded that the rectangle with the shorter width and the shorter length has the ratio of length to width closest to
Therefore, it can be observed from the given figures of rectangles that the rectangle B has the has the ratio of length to width closest to
c.
