    For rectangular shapes the formula for perimeter would be

    P = 2Length + 2 Width

    since a rectangle would have 4 sides having the equal upper and lowers sides being the length and the equal left and right side being the width

    Knowing this we look at the given

    Our length is 50 ft and our width is 35 ft

    Solving for the perimeter we have

    P = 2 (50) + 2 (35)

    P = 100 + 70

    P = 170ft

    The ratio of the length to the perimeter is simply Lenght:Perimeter or Length/Perimeter

    We have

    50:170

    50/170

    Reducing it to its simplest form

    (L/P) = 5/17
