Answer:
Let the breadth of the field = x cm ∴ its length = 2x and, its perimeter = 2 x (length + breadth) = 2 x (2x + x) = 2(3x) = 6x cm Perimeter = 60 cm
60 cm = 6x cm
x = 60/6 = 10 cm
Breadth = x cm = 10 cm
Length = 2x cm = 20 cm

so, answer is 10

Perimeter of rectangle
= 2(length + breadth)
Here it is given that length is twice of breadth
Let 'L' be the length and 'b' be the breadth then
It is given that L = 2b
And as per given information
2(L + b) = 24
We can replace 'L' with '2b' because it's twice of b
Then we will get
2(2b + b) = 24
2(3b) = 24
6b = 24
b = 24/6
Therefore,
L = 2 × b
= 2 × 4 m
