Question

he length of a rectangle is twice the width. The area is 22yd^2. Find the length and width.

Answer 1

the width of the rectangle is W

the length will be 2W

 

W * 2W = 22

       W² = 11

       W  =√11

 

2W= 2√11

 

The width is √11 yards, the length is 2√11 yards

Answer 2

L = 2W   ;   A = 22 square yards

 

A = L x W = 2W x W = 2 W² = 22   ⇒   W = √11 yards and L = 2√11 yards
