The length of the rectangle in question is 12 meters, and the width of the rectangle is 6 meters.
We solve this by knowing that the area of a rectangle is equal to the length (l) times the width (w). That formula looks like this:
Arectangle = l x w
We are told that the length is twice the width. Here's that idea in the form of an equation:
l = 2w
Since the length is twice the width, we can substitute the 2w for the l in the first equation. It looks like this:
Arectangle = 2w x w
Now we add the fact that the area was given as 72 meters2. and put it all together. It looks like this:
72 meters2 = 2w x w
72 meters2 = 2w2
36 meters2 = w2
sqrt 36 meters2 = w
6 meters = w
We have our width as 6 meters. The length is twice that, or 6 meters x 2 = 12 meters. There are our length and width. Let's check our work.
Area = length (12 meters) times width (6 meters) = 12m x 6m = 72 m2
Our work checks.

For a rectangle, calculate twice the length, plus twice the width.For a rectangle, calculate twice the length, plus twice the width.For a rectangle, calculate twice the length, plus twice the width.For a rectangle, calculate twice the length, plus twice the width.
The width of the rectangle is 13 meters. The perimeter of the rectangle is 50 meters, and its length is 12 meters. The 50 meters is 2 times the length plus 2 times the width. With a length of 12 meters, twice that is 24 meters. That leaves 50 meters - 24 meters for twice the width. And 50 - 24 = 26, which is twice the width. The 26 meters divided by 2 = 13 meters, which is the width of the rectangle.

Perimeter of a rectangle = twice (length + width), in this case 22 m.
From the statement of the problem, if w is the width, the area is 2w2 , the product of the width and the length, which is stated to be twice the width. Since 2w2 must be less than 50, w2 < 25, and the width must be less than 5 meters.

You draw a rectangle that has a diagonal which length is equal to twice the length of the side of the square.
You need to write two equations, one for the area, one for the statement that the length is twice its width:lw = 72 l=2w Since the second equation is solved for "l", it's fairly easy to replace that (replace "l" for "2w") in the first equation, then solve that.
The width is 6 cm and the length is 12 cm.
