2. the length of a rectangle is twice that of the width. the perimeter of the
rectangle is 24 cm. what is the width of the rectangle?
the width of the rectangle is cm
topic: worded algebra problems

4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

b=length

a=width

Perimeter=24cm=2*a+2*b

So 2*a+2*b=24. Equation 1

b=2*a. Equation 2

Using equation 1

we have

2*a+2*(2*a)=24

2*a+4*a=24

6*a=24

a=4cm

The width of the rectangle is 4cm

to find the perimeter of the rectangle this is the expression:

x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138

if we simplify it:

8x-26=138

remember, 138 is what it all adds up to

the length is 11.5cm

the width is 57.5cm

the area is 661.25cm^2
