Answer:

Area = 2.99 cm2

Explanation:


P=2l+2w

If:


l=2w\\P=7(1)/(3) cm=(22)/(3) cm

Then


(22)/(3) =2(2w)+2w


(22)/(3) =6w


(22)/(18) =w


l=2w=2((22)/(18) )=(44)/(18)

lenght simplified=22/9

width simplified = 11/9

Area.


A=lw=((22)/(9) )((11)/(9) )=((242)/(81) )=2.99cm^(2)

Hope this helps
