Question

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 36 feet and the length is twice as long as the width, what is the measurement of the length? A.) 6 feet B.) 9 feet C.) 12 feet D.) 24 feet

Answer 1

Answer: C. 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be W

Therefore Length will be 2W since it's twice the width

A rectangle has 2 widths and 2 lengths as sides

Therefore total width is given by 2W

Total length is 2 x 2W = 4W

Perimeter is sum of all four sides

4W + 2W = 36

6W = 36

W = 36/6

W = 6

If width is 6 feet, and length is twice that of width, then length = 2 x 6 = 12 feet.

C is the right option.

Answer 2

The length is 12 feet(c.).
