Question

The length of Marshall rectangles poster is 2 times it's width.If the perimeter is 24 inches,what is the area of the poster

Answer 1

the are of the poster is 32inches

Answer 2

width = x
length = 2x
perimeter = 24
= 2(l + b)
= 2(2x + x)

6x = 24
x = 24/6
x = 4 = width
2x = 4 x 2 = 8 = length

area = l x b
area = 8 x 4
= 32
