length = 4 feet and width = 2 feet
let w represent the width then length = 2w ( 2 times the width)
Area = length × width = w × 2w = 8, thus
2w² = 8
divide both sides by 2
w² = 4
take the square root of both sides
w =√4 = 2
width = 2 feet and length = 2 × 2 = 4 feet
The area of the rectangular shape can be found be the formula
Area= length × breadth
The breadth of the rug is 2 feet and the length of the rug is 4 feet.
If the breadth is x feet then the length would be 2x.
Putting the values
Area= length × breadth
8= 2x × x
8= 2x²
8/2=x²
√x² = √4
x= 2 feet.
The breadth of the rug is 2 feet and the length of the rug is 4 feet.
