Question

Chapter 6.1, Problem 42E

To determine

To find the rectangle that has the greatest ratio of length to width.

Expert Solution

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.

To determine

To find the rectangle that has the ratio of length to width closest to 1:1 .

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 42E

The rectangle B has theratio of length to width closest to 1:1 .

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 1:1 .

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 1:1 because it has a shorter width and the shorter length.

To determine

To state the type of rectangle that has the ratio of length to width equal to 1:1 .

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 42E

The rectangle that has the ratio of length to width equal to 1:1 is a not a rectangle but a square.

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

The rectangle has the ratio of length to width equal to 1:1 .

From the given data of rectangle, it can be concluded that the rectangle with the equal width and the equal length has the ratio of length to width equal to 1:1 .

Therefore, it can be observed that the rectangle that has the ratio of length to width equal to 1:1 is not a rectangle but it is a square having length and width equal.
