Let the width be 1/3x and the length be x:

2(width+length) = perimeter

2(1/3x+x) = 96 feet

2/3x+2x = 96

Multiply all terms by 3 to eradicate the fraction:

2x+6x = 288

8x = 288

Divide both sides by 8:

x = 36

Therefore: width = 12 feet and length = 36 feet

Check: 12+12+36+36 = 96 feet

The length of a rectangle is twice the width width the perimeter is 48 in find the dimensions of the rectangle?

Let the width of the rectangle be represented by "w" inches. Since the length is twice the width, it can be expressed as "2w" inches. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(l + w), where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width. Substituting the given values into the formula, we get 48 = 2(2w + w). Simplifying, we find that 48 = 6w. Solving for w, we find that the width of the rectangle is 8 inches, and the length is 16 inches.

How do you calculate the dimensions of a rectangle if you know the perimeter and the length?

A rectangle by definition has two pairs of sides with equal length. Since perimeter equals the length of all the sides. The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle could be thought of as: 2L + 2W = P Where L represents the length of one side of the rectangle and W represents the length of the adjacent (next to) side of the rectangle. If you know the length of one side and the perimeter, plug those values in as L and P and then solve for W. That will give you L and W which are the dimensions of the rectangle.
