Question

The length of a rectangle is twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 15 inches. What are the measurements of the lengths and width of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the breadth (b) of a rectangle be x

Then Length (L) = 2x

Now

Perimeter of the rectangle = 15 inches

Or, 2(L + b) = 15

2 ( 2x + x) = 15

2* 3x = 15

6x = 15

x = 15 / 6

x = 2.5 inch

Also Now

Length (L) = 2*2.5 = 5 inches

Breadth (b) = 2.5 inches

Hope it will help :)
