THE LENGTH OF A RECTANGLE IS TWICE ITS WIDTH. IF THE PERIMETER OF THE RECTANGLE IS 48 YARDS, FIND THE AREA
-----------------------
Let width = W.
The length = L = 2W
-------------------------
Solve for L and W:
Perimeter = 2(L+W)
48 = 2(2W+W)
6W = 48
W = 8 yds
L = 16 yds
-------------------
Area = 8*16 = 128 sq. yds.
