enclosure.
The length of a rectangular enclosure is twice its width.
let width be x and length be y
As per the condition given y=2x or y-2x =0...............(1)
Perimeter of rectangle = 2L+2w
2x+2y = 180.........................(2) (divide by 2)
-2x+y =0
x+y =90
ly, type
.
By Cramer's rule x = dx/d = -90/-3 = 30 m
and y = dy/d = -180/-3 = 60 m

Write down two simultaneous equations and Use Cramer’s rule to determine the length and the width of the enclosure.
-------------------------
P = 2W + 2L = 180
L = 2W
2W + 2*2W = 180
W = 30
