Answer 1

If we represent the width of the rectangle with the variable w, then we can say that the length is 2w.

Since area is equal to length tomes width for a rectangle, we can say that :

A= w * 2w OR

Using A= 50,

50 = w *2w

To solve for w, divide both sides of the equation by 2:

50/2 = w * 2w /2

Then 25 = w * w

w will be 5 inches

The length will be twice the width or:

2 * 5 = 10 inches for the length
