The length of a rectangle is twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 156 feet. What is the length and the width of the rectangle?

Answer: The length will be 52 and the width will be 26

Step-by-step explanation:

If the formular to calculate Perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2 * (L+W)

and the length L = 2W.

156 = 2 * (2W + W)

156 = 2 * (3W)

156 = 6W

Solving for W

W = 26

Since in the question the Length L is 2 * W (width)

L = 2 * 26 = 52

Length = 26, Width = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

156/6 = 26

26*2=52
