The area of the rectangle is 112 cm2. find its sides if they relate like 4: 7.

1. Vertices of the rectangle – A, B, C, D. AB: AD = 4: 7. S – area.

2. AD = 7AB / 4 centimeters.

3. Take the length of the AB side as x. Side length AD – 7x / 4.

4. Make an equation, considering that the S of the rectangle is equal to 112 centimeters².

7x / 4 x x = 112;

7x² / 4 = 112;

7x² = 112 x 4;

x² = 16 x 4;

x = √16 x 4 = 8.

AB = 8 centimeters.

AD = 7 x 8: 4 = 14 centimeters.

Answer: AB = 8 centimeters, AD = 14 centimeters.
