To find WB, we can apply the concept of ratios and use the given information about WA and WC.
We know that WA = 5×8 means that WA is a rectangle with one side as 5 units and another side as 8 units. The area of this rectangle can be calculated as:
Area of WA = Length × Width = 5 × 8 = 40 square units.
Similarly, WC = 3×2 implies that the dimensions of this rectangle are 3 units and 2 units, giving us:
Area of WC = Length × Width = 3 × 2 = 6 square units.
Now, to find WB, we need to know the relationship between WA, WC, and WB. If we assume there is a direct proportional relationship as is common in many mathematical problems, we can express WB in terms of ratios.
Assuming the relationship can be derived from the areas, we can take the ratio of WA to WC. It helps to express WB in terms of another variable or constant based on the problem’s needs. However, without more specific relationships given in the question, we cannot solve for WB directly.
In a typical scenario, if WB is to maintain some kind of proportional relationship with WA and WC, then:
WB can be set equal to some ratio dependent on the areas of WA and WC.
This would usually require an equation reflecting physical constraints (like conservation of area or similar attributes). Thus the precise value of WB cannot be determined without additional context or relationships.
