Question 659325
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + W) and that is equal to 27meters
Width = a meters and length = 1.2a meters
Now Perimeter = 2(1.2a + a) =2.4a + a = 27
            So 2.4a + 2a = 27
               4.4a   = 27
               
              4.4a/4.4 =27/4.4
                a = 6.12  

        Therefore width = 6.12m and length =1.2 x 6.12 = 7.34 meters

Check 2(1.2 x 6.12) + 2(6.12)
     =2 (7.34) + 12.24
     = 14.68 + 12.24 = 26.92
  And that's the closest we can get to 27 since the numbers are not whole numbers and we have to round off.hence 26.92 to the nearest whole number would be 27
