Question 363003: a rectangle has a length twice as long as it is wide, and an area of 242meter squared. determine the length and width of the rectangle. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! width = x
length = 2x
Area = x*2x = 2x^2
2x^2= 242
/2
x^2= 121
take square root
x= 11 m the width
length = 22 m
