Answer:
Length = 19[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]m
Width = 8[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be x meters
The length will be 2x + 3 meters
The perimeter is 56m
Perimeter is given by 2(length) + 2(width)
2(2x + 3) + 2x = 56m
4x + 6 + 2x = 56m
6x + 6 = 56m
6x = 56 - 6 = 50m
x = 50/6m
Simplifying gives;
x = 8[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]m
Length = 2x + 3 that gives;
2(50/6) + 3 = 50/3 + 3
Working out further gives;
Length = 19[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]m
