Re: divide a rectangle in two block
Hi;
Maximum percentage of what?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: divide a rectangle in two block
Hi tina123;
I have the same question. Percentage of what? Area? Points?

Re: divide a rectangle in two block
Hi;
How do you want to split the big rectangle up? With one line or more than one line. Please look at the drawings.

Re: divide a rectangle in two block
For the 8 x 16 rectangle you have in the picture. This is one answer.

hy .. bottom block is small .
second block should be 1st block.
I want 30% area should be for 1st block and the rest 70% area should be for 2nd block .
you did opposite .
and please let be know how did u do that .

Hi;
You want the top block to be the small one?

Re: divide a rectangle in two block
Hi;
30% of ( 8 * 16 ) is 38.4. You need a rectanghle with an area of 38.4.
The width is 8 so we can only adjust the length from 0 to 16. We solve that with algebra.
L = 4.8
So the dimensions of the rectangle are 4.8 x 8. See the drawing.
