The perimeter of the rectangle is 24cm. what are the sides of the rectangle if the length is 2 times greater.

1. Let’s take the length of the first side of the rectangle as x cm.

2. If the problem statement says that the second side is 2 times larger than the first, then its length will be (2 * x) = 2x cm.

3. Let’s remember what the perimeter of a rectangle is.

P = a + a + b + b, that is, the sum of the lengths of all its sides.

4. Since we know that the perimeter of the rectangle is 24 cm, so we can write the equation. Let’s solve it and find out what the first side of the rectangle is.

24 = x + x + 2x + 2x;

24 = 6x;

x = 24/6;

x = 4 cm.

5. Let’s find out what the second side is equal to.

4 * 2 = 8 cm.

Answer: The first side of the rectangle is 4 cm, the second 8 cm.
