You can put this solution on YOUR website! a retangle has a area of 72 its length is twice its width what is its perimeter?
----------------
Area = length * width
----
Let the width be "w"
Then the length is "2w"
-----
Solve with substitution:
72 = w*2w
36 = w^2
w = 6 units (width)
2w = 12 units (length)
---------------------------
Now, determine the perimeter.
P = 2(L+W)
P = 2(12+6)
P = 2(18)
Perimeter = 36 units
