Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle = x

Length = 2x

Perimeter = 96 inches

2 * ( length + width) = 96

2 * ( 2x + x ) = 96

2 * 3x = 96

3x = 96/2 = 48

3x = 48

x = 48/3

x = 16 inches

Width = 16 inches

Length = 2*16 = 32 inches

Area = length*width

= 32*16

= 512 sq.cm
