First we have to find out what 'x' is. Then we'll know the length and width,
and we can multiply them to find the area.
Length of the rectangle = x - 2
Width of the rectangle = 2x
Perimeter of the rectangle = (two lengths) + (two widths) = 2(x-2) + 2(2x) = 2x - 4 + 4x = 6x - 4.
But we know that the perimeter is 452.
So (6x - 4) = 452
Add 4 to each side:
6x = 456
Divide each side by 6:
x = 76.
Now we know what 'x' is.
Length = x - 2 = 74
Width = 2x = 152
Area = (Length) x (Width) = (74 x 152) = 11,248
===========================
The answer is 11,248.
Nice work. I'll bet you learned a lot from having me do it.
Its length is 18 inches

If "50 inches" is the perimeter all you can say is that length plus width = 25 inches.
28 inches
I think its 18
The length of a rectangle is 8 inches. The width of the rectangle is 4 inches. What is the perimeter of the rectangle in inches?
Length of rectangle is 5 inches and its width is 4 inches Check: 2*(5+4) = 18 inches which is its perimeter
Length + width = half perimeter = 100". Length is 98", width is 2"
A rectangle has two dimensions, length and width. You haven't said what the width is. The perimeter is the distance around the rectangle. Imagine going round it. You would go 42 inches, then a width, then another 42 inches, then another width. In general, the perimeter of a rectangle is twice its length plus twice its width.
The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + width) = 2 x (12 + 8) = 2 x 20 = 40 inches

35 and 28
Its length is 18 inches
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.
