Question

THE LENGTH OF THE RECTANGLE IS TWICE ITS WIDTH IF THE PERIMETER OF THE RECTANGLE IS 48 INCH WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF THE RECTANGLE

Answer 1

Answer:

16 INCH

Step-by-step explanation:

LET WIDTH BE x

THEN LENGTH WILL BE 2x

PERIMETER=2[LENGTH]+2[WIDTH]

2[2x]+2[x]=48

4x+2x=48

6x=48

x=8

LENGTH=2x=2×8

16 INCH

Answer 2

✬ Length = 16 ✬

✬ Breadth = 8 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Length of a rectangle is twice its width.
• Perimeter of rectangle is 48 .

To Find:

• What is the length of rectangle ?

Solution: Let the measure of width of rectangle be x. Therefore,

➟ Length = 2 times of width

➟ Length = 2x

As we know that

★ Perimeter of Rectangle = 2(Length + Width) ★

A/q

• Perimeter is 48.

$\implies{\rm }$ 48 = 2(2x + x)

$\implies{\rm }$ 48 = 2(3x)

$\implies{\rm }$ 48 = 6x

$\implies{\rm }$ 48/6 = x

$\implies{\rm }$ 8 = x

So, Measure of

➫ Length is 2x = 2(8) = 16

➫ Width is x = 8
