make a sketch and label the width x, then the length must be 2x
the perimeter would be 2(x+2x) = 6x
and the area would be x(2x) = 2x^2
<<The number of feet in the perimeter of the garden is equal to the number of square feet in its area>>
6x = 2x^2
2x^2 - 6x=0
2x(x-3)=0
so x=0, not very likely or
x = 3
so the width is 3 and the length is 6
check: perimeter = 2(3+6) = 18
area = (36) = 18
ok then!
thank you so much!!
