Question 990975: The length of a rectangle is twice its width. If the perimeter is 72 meters, find the length and width of the rectangle. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Make width = 'x'
Length = 2x
Perimeter = 2 x Width + 2 x Length
72 = 2x + 4x
6x = 72
x = 12m
Width = 12m
Length = 24m
Hope this helps :-)
