Answer 2

Concept

A rectangle is a four-sided polygon with internal angles that are all exactly 90 degrees. At each corner or vertex, the two sides come together at a straight angle.

Given

The width of a rectangle is two thirds of the length and the perimeter is 192

Find

We need to find the width

Solution

Given that the width of a rectangle is two third of the length

Let the width of rectangle be x

Let the length of the rectangle y

Therefore

According to the statement

x = 2y/3 ------- (1)

Now Perimeter given is 192

So , The perimeter of the rectangle = $2(x+y)$

∴ $192 =$ $2 (2y/3+y)$

∴ $192 = 2(\frac{5y}{3} )$

∴ $y = 57.6$

We need to find the width

So, the width will be

x = 2(57.6)÷3

x = 38.4 cm

Hence the width is 38.4 cm
