Answer:
128m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey There
Here is your answer step by step.
============================
Width = X
Length = 2X
length of wire = perimeter of rectangle
48m = 2(2X + X)
48m = 2 × 3X
48m = 6X
48m/6 = X
8m = X
X = 8m
So,
length = 2X = 2 × 8m = 16m
width = X = 8m
area = length × breadth
= 8m × 16m
= 128m²
============================
