the length of a rectangle is twice its width the perimeter is 48 cm what are the dimensions of the rectangle

The length=16cm and the width=8cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the length is twice the breadth or width of the rectangle

Let's assume that the breadth of the rectangle is x.

Thus the length is 2x.

Given perimeter=48cm

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(l+b) where l is length and b is breadth.

2(x+2x)=48

(3x)=48/2

3x=24

x=8cm

2x=16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

length=2x

width=x

2x+x+2x+x=48

6x=48

6x÷6=48÷6

x=8

length=16

width=8
