Question 498455: If the length of a rectangle is half the width and the area is 25 square meters, what is the perimeter?
Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
width = x
length = 2x
= 25
= 12.5
x = 3.53 meters the width
2x = 7.06 meters the length
3.53 * 7.06 = 24.92 meters(round off error)
This does check.
2(3.53) + 2(7.06)
7.06 meters + 14.12 meters = 21.18 meters.
