Answer: 6 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Length of the rectangle be L and the Width be W
Also , let us pick the Length as the longest side , then from the statement
L = 2W
The perimeter of a rectangle is given as :
P = 2 ( L + W )
substitute L = 2W into the formula , we have
P = 2 ( 2W + W )
P = 2 (3W)
P = 6W
Therefore the Perimeter is 6 times as long as the Width
