Question 1129370: A rectangle has a perimeter of 96cm. If the length is 2 times it’s width, what are the dimensions of the rectangle? Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2L + 2W = 96 (1)
L = 2W substitute for L in (1)
2(2W) + 2W = 96
4W + 2W = 96
6W = 96
W = 16 this is the width
2(16) = 32 this is the length
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Check:
2(16) + 2(32) = 96
32 + 64 = 96 Correct
