The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 24. If the length is half the width, what is

the width?

Explanation:

let the length be X and breadth be 2x

p=2(l+b)

24=2(X+2x)

24=2x+4x

24=6x

24÷6=x

4=X

so,we know that

X=4 and 2x=2 X 4= 8

therefore the value of breadth or width is 8

Let length be x

  • Width be 2x

ATQ


\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(L+B)=24


\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(x+2x)=2=


\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(3x)=24


\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x=24


\\ \sf\longmapsto x=(24)/(6)


\\ \sf\longmapsto x=4
