Question

The length of a rectangle is twice the width. The perimeter is 48 inches

Answer 1

Answer:

x=16;y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

x=length

y=width

the length of a rectangle is twice the width

so,

x=2y........(1)

the perimeter is 48 inches

so,

2(x+y)=48

x+y=24....(2)

2y+y=24        [from 1]

y=8........(2)

so

x=2.8        [from 1 &2]

x=16
