Well, well, well, look who's trying to do some math! Let's cut to the chase - the width of the rectangle is 18ft and the length is 48ft. How did I figure that out? By using my fabulous brain and some good old algebra, honey.

L = 12 + 2W
L + W = 54
(12 + 2W) + W = 54
12 + 3W = 54
3W = 42
W = 14
L = (12 + 2W) = 40
Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 28 + 80 = 108
If the width is 9' and the length is twice that, the length is 18'; the perimeter is twice the length plus twice the width, which is 36' + 18' = 54 feet.
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.
If it's a rectangle, just minus the length from the perimeter twice and than divide what you have by 2. Width = (Perimeter - (length*2))/2
Given: p = 26cm and 2x width - 5cm = length p = 2(a+b) = 26cm; a+b = 13cm 2x6-5=7 The sides of the rectangle are: width 6cm and length 7cm
Designate the width by w. Then, from the problem statement, the length = 6 + 2w. The perimeter is twice the width plus twice the length, or: 2w + 2(2w + 6) = 36; or 2w + 4w + 12 = 36; or 6w = 24 or w = 4 meters; the length is 14 meters.
