Answer:
7 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of width to length of the known rectangle is 4 : 14 and this simplifies to 2 : 7.
The smaller similar rectangle will have the same ratio of 2 :7.
This can also be looked at another way. The second value in the ratio is 7/2 of the first value in the ratio and the first value is 2/7 of the second value.
Example:
7/2 * 2 = 7
Example:
2/7 * 7 = 2
