Answer:
Width = 16 Length = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets put our width and length in terms of x,
Lets say that the width is x feet, and the length, being twice the width is 2x
If the perimeter is 96 ft and the formula for perimeter is 2 * width + 2* length we can plug in x and 2x
2 * 2x + 2 *x = 96
6x = 96
x = 16
Width is 16
To find length multiply by 2
16 *2 = 32
Answer: The length is 32ft and the width is 16ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the rectangle is twice its width, so we can write the length as 2w and the width as w.
Next we can plug this as well as the perimeter of 96 into the equation for perimeter (P = 2L + 2W) and we get 96 = 4W + 2W
Then solve for W
96 = 6W
W = 16
Therefore the width is 16ft and since the length is twice that, it is 32ft.
