The length of a rectangle is twice its width. If the area of the rectangle is 72in², find its perimeter

Sagot :

Let breadth be x

  • Length=2x

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=Length\times Breadth[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 72=2x(x)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x^2=72[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2=\dfrac{72}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2=36[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\sqrt{36}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=6[/tex]

  • Length=6×2=12in
  • Breadth=6in

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto Perimeter=2(L+B)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto Perimeter=2(12+6)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto Perimeter=2(18)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto Perimeter=36in[/tex]
