Arectangle is twice as long as it is wide. the area of the rectangle is 32 square feet. find the rectangle's width.

Length = 8 feet --- Width = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation: Since the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide, we can use "X" to represent the rectangles width and "2x" to represent its length. The area of a rectangle is length × width and since the area of the rectangle is 32 and the length and width are "2x" and "X", we can set up an equation to represent this.

If we want to get the "x" term by itself, we take the square root of both sides and we find that 4 = x. The width of the rectangle is 4 feet and the length of the rectangle is 2 (4) which equals 8 feet. Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 8 feet and the width is 4 feet.

the answer is a if my teacher taught me correct

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
