    The value value of possible width of the room is 13 feet.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given as:

    The length of a rectangular room is twice its width

    Let the measure of width of room = w feet

    So, The length measure = 2 time w

    I, e L = 2 * w

    Now,

    Let The perimeter of rectangle = P feet

    ∵ Perimeter of rectangle = 2 * Length + 2 * width

    Or, P = 2 * L + 2 * w

    Or, P = 2 * 2 * w + 2 * w

    Or, P = 4 * w + 2 * w

    Or, P = 6 * w

    Now, According to question

    Perimeter must be greater than 72 feet

    So, from equation P = 6 * w

    if w = 12, then P = 6 * 12 = 72 feet

    If w = 13, then p = 6 * 13 = 78 feet

    And for width = 13, Length = 2 * 13 = 26

    So, Perimeter = 2 * 26 + 2 * 13

    or, P = 52 + 26 = 78

    So, For width = 13 feet, the statement and equation satisfy

    Hence The value value of possible width of the room is 13 feet. Answer
