Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I will assume that the missing word is width.
ratio of length to width = 5:3
Given ratio derived ratio
5:3 24 : x
This assumes that the length is 24 cm and it is the longer line.
5/3 = 24 / x x is the width
5x = 3*24 Combine the right
5x = 72 Divide by 5
x = 72/5
x = 14.4
