The length of the rectangle of the land plot is 8 meters, and the width is 2 times less than the length.

The length of the rectangle of the land plot is 8 meters, and the width is 2 times less than the length. What is the area of the plot? How long is the border of this section?

Brief record of the condition:

section length – 8 m;

width -? m, 2 times less;

land area – ? m ^ 2;

border length -? m.

1. Let’s calculate the width of the land plot:

8: 2 = 4 m.

2. Let’s calculate its border length or perimeter:

(8 + 4) 2 = 12 2 = 24 m.

3. Determine the area of a given area:

8 4 = 32 m ^ 2.

Answer: the land plot has an area of 32 m ^ 2 and a border length of 24 m.
