Lily is building a square sandbox for her son in once the link to be twice as long as the width if she has 24 ft of wood to build a Sandbox what will the dimensions be length and width?

Question

Help, I need it at this very moment

Answer 1

if the problem is to build a sandbox with the length twice the width and there is 24 feet of wood for the perimeter of the sandbox proceed as follows:

Let W = Width

L = Length = 2W

Then, the perimeter is 2W + 2L = 24 = 2W + 2(2W) = 2W + 4W = 6W

or Perimeter = 24 = 6W Then, W = 4 feet and L = 2W = 8 feet
