Answer:

width = 10 yards

Explanation:

the perimeter (P ) of a rectangle is calculated as

P 2( length + width )

let width be w then length = 2w

given P = 60 , then substitute into the formula for P

60 = 2(2w + w)

60 = 2(3w) , that is

60 = 6w ( divide both sides by 6 )

10 = w and l = 2w = 2 × 10 = 20

width = 10 yards and length = 20 yards
