Answer:

width = 10 units and length = 20 units

Explanation:

Let the width be w

so Length will be 2w

using the rectangle formula:


\sf Perimeter \ of \ rectangle= 2L + 2W


\sf 60= 2(2w) + 2w


\sf 60= 4w + 2w


\sf 60= 6w


\sf w = 10 \ units

Find length:


\sf length = 2w


\sf length = 2(10)


\sf length = 20 \ units
