Question

the width of a rectangle is twice as long as the length. if the length is increased by 50% and the width is decreased by 20%, the perimeter becomes 248. find the width and length of the original rectangle.

Answer 1

Width: 160

Length: 80

Explanation:

Width = 2x and length = x

X + 0.5x + 2x - 0.4x = 248

3.1x = 248

X = 248/3.1

X = 80

Width = (2)(80) and length = 80
