Answer:

12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Define the variable:

x = length of the rectangle

2x = width of the rectangle

2. Set the equation:

x + 2x is half of the rectangle

2(x + 2x) is the perimeter

So,

2(x + 2x) = 36

2x + 4x = 36

6x = 36

x = 6

Since x is the length, multiply it by 2 to find the width.

2x = 12

Answer:

\fbox{ \fbox { \sf{Distance  =  \sf{15 \: units}}}}

{ \fbox { \fbox { \sf{Midpoint = { \sf{ \: (12 \: , \: 10.5)}}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\star{ \:  \sf { \: Let \: the \: points \: be \: A \: and \: B}}

\star { \sf{Let \: A(6 \:, 6) \: be \: (x1 ,\: y1) \: and \: B(18 ,\: 15) \: be \: (x2 \:, y2)}}

\underline{ \underline{ \tt{Finding \: the \: distance}}}

\boxed{ \sf{Distance =  \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2}  +  {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } }}

\mapsto{ \sf{Distance =  \sqrt{ {(18 - 6)}^{2}  +  {(15 - 6)}^{2} } }}

\mapsto{ \sf{Distance =  \sqrt{ {(12)}^{2}  +  {(9)}^{2} } }}

\mapsto{ \sf{Distance =  \sqrt{144 + 81}}}

\mapsto{ \sf{Distance =  \sqrt{225} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{Distance =  \sqrt{ {15}^{2} } }}

\mapsto{  \boxed{\sf{Distance = 15 \: units}}}

\underline{ \underline {\tt{Finding \: the \: Midpoint}}}

\boxed{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2}  \: , \:  \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )}}

\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{6 + 18}{2}  \: , \:  \frac{6 + 15}{2} )}}

\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{24}{2}  \: , \:  \frac{21}{2} )}}

\mapsto{ \boxed{ \sf{Midpoint = (12 \: , \: 10.5)}}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
