This math topic focuses on calculating the side lengths of a rectangle given the perimeter and the ratio of the sides. It is part of an introductory unit on area and perimeter logic. The problems involve solving for a variable labeled 'x' which may represent either the length or the width of the rectangle. Each problem provides the perimeter and either an explicit or implicit ratio of the lengths of two sides, and requires algebraic manipulation to determine the side lengths. This helps in enhancing logical reasoning and algebraic skills in a geometric context.
