The perimeter of a rectangle is perimeter=2L + 2W
Let W = it's width
the length = 2W
we know the perimeter eqaul 119025
119025=2(2W) + 2W
119025=4W +2W
119025=6W
divide both sides by 6 to get the variable W by itself
W=19837.5
to get length 2W
2(19837.5)
39675
The width is 19837.5 and the length is 39675.
