Question 374823
LUCY MAKES A RECTANGLE WITH A PERIMTER OF 18CM THE LENGTH IS TWICE THE WIDTH CALACULATE THE AREA OF THE RECTANGLE

Let w = the width of the rectangle
   2w = the length of the rectangle

2(w+2w) = 18
2(3w)   = 18
     w  = 3

Area = w*2w
     = 3*2*3 
     = 18

The area of the rectangle is 18 sq. cm.
