Question

The area of a playground is 50 square yards. The length of the playground is 2 times longer than its width. Find the length and width of the playground.

Answer 1

The formula to find the area of a rectangle is a=l*w, where a is area, l is length and 2 is width.

The playground is 5 yard wide and 10 yard long, because 5 x 10 = 50, and 5 x 2 = 10.

Hope this helps!!
