The length of a rectangle is twice its width. If the area of the rectangle is 200 yd?, find its perimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

Area of rectangle = l × w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question

The length is twice its width is written as

l = 2w

Substitute this into the formula for finding the area of the rectangle

Area = 200 yd²

200 = 2w²

Divide both sides by 2

w² = 100

Find the square root of both sides

width = 10cm

Substitute this value into l = 2w

That's

l = 2(10)

length = 20cm

Perimeter of the rectangle is

2(20) + 2(10)

= 40 + 20

Hope this helps you
