Explanation:
#"let the width "=w#
#"then length "=2wlarrcolor(blue)"twice the width"#
#• " perimeter "=(2xx"length")+(2xx"width")#
#color(white)(xxxxxxxxxx)=4w+2w=6w#
#"we are told the perimeter "=180" feet"#
#rArr6w=180larrcolor(blue)"solve for w"#
#"divide both sides by 6"#
#rArrw=180/6=30#
#rArr"width "=w=30" feet"#
#"and length "=2w=2xx30=60" feet"#
