The width of the rectangle is twice its length.

So lets assume the width to be------ 2x feet

Then the length will be ------ x feet

The perimeter is given as ---- 78 feet

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is ; 2[ l+w ] where l is length and w is width

Use the assumed measurements in the equation for perimeter as;

2[ l+w ] =78

2{x +2x] =78

2x +4x =78

6x = 78

x=13 feet

Length = x = 13 feet

Width = 2x = 2*13 = 26 feet
