Let the width of the rectangular courtyard be x meters, then the length of the rectangular garden is 2 meters. The perimeter is 240 meters. Let’s make an equation and find the unknown x:
(2x + x) * 2 = 240.
3x = 240: 2.
3x = 120.
x = 120: 3.
x = 40.
The width of the rectangular garden is 40 meters, and the length:
2x = 2 * 40 = 80 meters.
