Step-by-step explanation:

given,

perimeter (p)=30

let the length be x and breadth be x÷2 (as the length is twice of its breadth)

now, perimeter (p)=30

or, 2(l+b)=30

or, 2(x+x/2)=30

or, 6x/2=30

or, 3x=30

therefore the value of x is 10.

the dimensions are,

so, length (l)=10 breadth (b) =10/2=5...ans

hope it will help uh.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the rectangle = x

Therefore the length of the rectangle = 2x, as it is twice its width

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)

So since the perimeter equals to 30, then we can form the equation:

                                      2×(2x+x) = 30

                                          2×(3x) = 30

                                                6x = 30

                                                   x = 5

width of the rectangle = x = 5

length of the rectangle = 2x = 2×5 = 10

If there is an unit which is in the question, remember to add it to the end of the answer. As you have not written any units in the posted question, I will leave it as it is.

Hope this helps :)

The bisector of the angle at A (call it AQ) divides the segment BC into segments BQ:QC having the ratio AB:AC. Use this fact to find x.

.. 9:15 = (2x -1):3x
.. 15(2x -1) = 9*3x . . . . . the product of the means equals the product of extremes
.. 30x -15 = 27x
.. 3x = 15
.. x = 5

___
According to the value of x, the bisector AQ divides the triangle into two isosceles triangles: ABQ, ACQ.
