The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of its sides, which are two widths and two lengths:

p=w+w+l+l

Since the length is twice the width, we have l=2w, and the formula for the perimeter becomes

p=w+w+2w+2w=6w

So, we have

6w=120 \iff w=\dfrac{120}{6}=20

Find an equation in standard form for the ellipse with the vertical major axis of length 18 and minor axis of length 16.
Reika [66]
Let us assume then that the center is the origin.  If the major axis is 18, then a = 9 and a^2=81.  If the minor axis is 16, then b = 8 and b^2=64.  Now you can write the equation.  Remember that this ellipse is vertical and so a^2 goes under y^2
