Question

The length of a rectangle is twice its width.

If the area of the rectangle is 128 yd?, find its perimeter.

Answer 1

`let \: w \: be \: the \: width \: and \: l = 2w \\ area \: = 128 = (w)(2w) \\ 2{w}^(2) = 128 \\ {w}^(2) = 64 \\ w = 8 \: yd \\ l = 16 \\ perimeter \: = 2(8) + 2(16) = 48 \: yd`
