Plzzz i'm ! i give five stars and pl asap! ten boxes are packed tightly in a crate. from above, the packed crate looks like this. the visible faces of the boxes are all congruent rectangles (that means the ten small rectangles in the diagram are the same shape and size). the top of the crate is l inches long by w inches wide, where l> =w (as shown above). what is the ratio l: w in simplified form?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be the length of the longer side of the smaller rectangle and be the length of the shorter side of the smaller rectangle

When you look at the combined rectangle from top to bottom, you can see that . Therefore,

This is the same for . Thus,

When you look from right to left, you can see that . Using this, we can represent in terms of .

Now, we can find the ratio of :

This question was quite hard to explain.

If you have any questions about the solution, feel free to ask.

Please have a look at the diagram below to get a better understanding of the solution.

hope this is what you were asking for!
