Let the length be 2x and the width be x:

2(2x+x) = 66 the perimeter in feet

4x+2x = 66

6x = 66

x = 11

Therfore: length = 22 feet, width = 11 feet and 22*11 = 242 square feet.

Find the length of a square playground whose area is equal to the area of rectangular field of dimensions 72m and 388m?

First of all you need to calculate the area of the rectangular field. You do this by multiplying the length by the width. 72m x 388m = 27,936m2 If a square (which has four equal sides of course) has the same area then we can calculate the length of a side by finding the square root of the above. 27,936m1/2 = 167.14m (to 2 decimal places).
