perimeter of rectangle

Question

the perimeter of a rectangle is 60 cm. Its length is twice its width. Find its lengt

Answer 1

Let width be x.

Thus, length is 2x.

Perimeter will be x + 2x + x + 2x = 6x

Since perimeter is 60cm, we have:

6x = 60

x = 60 / 6

x = 10cm.

Length of rectangle

= 2x

= 2(10)

= 20cm

Answer 2

what does perimeter mean

Answer 3

The length of a rectangle is 1 ft more than twice its width, and the area of the rectangle is 45 yd^2. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
