Find the perimeter for the figure. The length of a rectangle is half the width. The area is 25 square meters.
---
width:: 2x
length:: x
-----
Area = 2x^2 = 25
x = 5/sqrt(2) or (5/2)sqrt(2)------ length
2x = 5sqrt(2)......... width
------------------------
Ans: Perimeter = 2[length + width]
---
P = 2[(7/2)sqrt(2)]
P = 7sqrt(2)
-----------------
