Let x be the width
width = x
Length is twice its width
length = 2x
Perimeter = length + width + length + width
Perimeter = x + 2x + x + 2x = 6x
Given that perimeter = 7 1/3
6x = 7 1/3
x = 7 1/3 ÷ 6 = 1 2/9
So width = 1 2/9
Length = 1 2/9 x 2 = 2 4/9
Area = length x width
Area = 1 2/9 x 2 4/9
Area = 2 80/81 square cm
