Answer:

The length is equal to 12 and the width is equal to 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the values here, we start by setting the width equal to x. Now knowing this, we know that the length is twice that long. Therefore, the length would be equal to 2x. Now we can use the perimeter formula to solve the equation.

2L + 2W = P

2(2x) + 2(x) = P

4x + 2x = 36

6x = 36

x = 6

Now with the given value for x, we can tell that the width is 6 and then we multiply it by 2 to get the length value (12).

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:   L= 12, W = 6

Discussion:

Let "L' be the length of the rectangle,"w" its width, and P its perimeter. We are told that

L = 2W            (*)

and

P = 36

Since the Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W we have

2L + 2W = 36

From  (*) above L = 2W  so substituting this into the last equation gives:

2L + L = 36

which gives 3L = 36 or L = 12. Since the Width is 1/2 the length, W = 12/2 = 6

Mr. Townsend needs to make 13 pairs of butterfly wings for costumes for a play. Each pair of wings is made with ¾ yard of fabric
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pair of wings = 3/4 yard fabric

We know that 1 yard of fabric = $8

1 pair of wings = $8 x 3/4 = $6

Therefore total cost = $6 x 13 = $78

Area of a square with sides of length 1/3 yard .<br> how did you get 1/9
erastova [34]
You are correct.  The area of a square with side lengths of 1/3 yard is 1/9 yd^2.

To get this answer, you muse use the formula for finding the area of a square, which is s^2, where s represents the value of a side length.

The value of the side length in this case is 1/3 yard, so we should substitute that value in for s.

When we do this, we get the following:

A = (1/3 yd)^2 = 1/9 yard^2

Therefore, your answer is 1/9 yd^2.

Hope this helps!
