The perimeter of a rectangle is 78 meters and the length is twice as long as the width. What are the length and width?

Question

find the width and length

Answer 1

Let width of a rectangle= w meters

      Length=2w meters

Perimeter of a rectangle= 2( length+width)

                       78= 2(2w+w)

                        78= 6w

                         w= 78/6 =13 meters

           length= 2w= 26 meters
