Question

A garden is shaped like a rectangle whose perimeter is 150 ft. The length is 2 times as long as the width. Find the length and the width.

Answer 1

Explanation:

L=2W

P=2(L+W), using L=2W this becomes

P=2(2W+W)

P=2(3W)

P=6W, given P=150

6W=150

W=25, and since L=2W

L=50 so

L=50ft and W=25ft
