By definition we have that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
 P = 2b + 2h
 Where,
 b: base
 h: height
 Also, as a data of the problem we have:
 base is two times the height:
 b = 2h
 Substituting we have:
 P = 2 (2h) + 2h
 Clearing h:
 6h = P
 h = P / 6
 h = (80x) / 6
 h = (40/3) x
 The base will be
 b = 2h
 b = (80/3) x
 Answer:
 the dimensions of the rectangle are
 b = (80/3) x
 h = (40/3) x
 b. h = 13.3x; b = 26.6x

Answer:
<span>h = 13.3x; b = 26.6x
</span>
Explanation:
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(base+height)
80x = 2(base+height)
base + height = 40x ........> I

Now, we are given that the base is 2 times the height, this means that:
base = 2*height ..........> II

Substitute with II in I:
base + height = 40x
2*height + height = 40x
3*height = 40x
height = 13.3x 

Substitute with the height in equation II to get the base as follows:
base = 2*height 
base = 2 * 13.3x = 26.6x

Hope this helps :)

Using only whole numbers, how can you draw three rectangles with perimeter of 12 units
Assoli18 [71]
Perimeter means the sides add up to 12. 
Rectangles have two pairs of equal sides. 

2(one side) + 2(another side) = 12
2 (one side + another side) = 12 
(one side + another side) = 6 

To draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 12 units, the two adjacent sides must add up to 6. 
1 + 5
2 + 4 
3 + 3
