If the perimeter of a rectangle is 24 and the length is two times it's width find the width of the rectangle and the area of the rectangle.
***
let x=width of rectangle
2x=length of rectangle
2(width+length)=perimeter
2(x+2x)=24
6x=24
x=4
2x=8
length*width=area
8*4=32
width=4
length=8
area=32 sq units
