Answer 2

Answer:

Width of Rectangle = 6 cm

Length of Rectangle = 2 (Width)

= 2 (6)

= 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

By Initial Consideration :

Width (b) = x

Length (l) = 2x

Given :

Area of Rectangle = 72 m²

Now, let us find out the Width of Rectangle :

Area of Rectangle = Length × Width

72 = l × b

72 = (2x) × (x)

72 = 2x²

72/2 = x²

36 = x²

√36 = x

6 = x

So, x = 6 cm

Now, according to the condition :

Width = x = 6 cm

Length = 2x = 2 (6) = 12 cm
