Question 804451
Perimeter=length+length+width+width
P=2length+2width
{{{24=2L+2W}}}
{{{L=2W}}}
plug into perimeter equation to find the width
{{{24=2(2W)+2W}}}
{{{24=6W}}}
{{{W=4}}}
plug width into perimeter equation
{{{24=2L+2(4)}}}
{{{24=2L+8}}}
{{{16=2L}}}
{{{L=8}}}
The answer is: the length is 8 units and the width is 4 units.
