Question

Ms. galendez's backyard is a rectangle whose length is twice the width. if the perimeter is 720 ft, what are the dimensions of her yard

Answer 1

120ft and 240ft

Explanation:

720 = 2L + 2W

Since L = 2W, we get

720 = 2(2W) + 2W

6W = 720

W = 120

L = 2W = 2(120) = 240

The dimensions of the yard are 120 feet and 240 feet
