You can put this solution on YOUR website! a rectangle has a area of 72.
its length is twice its width what is its perimeter?
----
Let the width be W.
Then the length is 2W.
----
Formula: Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
---
Solve by substituting:
72 = 2(2W+W)
---
36 = 3W
w = 12 units (width)
2w = 24 units (length)
