Problema Solution

the length of a rectangle is twice its width. the perimeter is 60ft. find the area. in the form of a paragraph explain in complete sentences the necessary steps to find the area include a diagram of the rectangle

Answer provided by our tutors

let length be l and width be w

we have 2l+2w=60

and l=2w

==> 6w = 60 ==> w=10

hence, l = 2w = 20

==> area = l*w = 20*10 = 200 square ft
