Question

The length of a rectangle is twice the width the area is 242 yd. Find the length and the width.

Answer 1

length l=2w (w=width), right?
and area:
A=l*w

Answer 2

A=2w*w=242
so, w^2=121
or w=11
can you find l (length ) ?

Answer 3

length l=2w=2*11=22

Answer 4

Area of rectangle: length * width = 242 yd

length = 2 * width

length * width = 242 yd
(2 * width) * width = 242 yd
2 * width^2 = 242 yd
width^2 = 121 yd
width =11 yd

length = 22

Check: lenght * width = 22 * 11 = 242
