Dimensions of the rectangle are defined as Length=2x
Width=x
The formula for perimeter is given by 2(Length) + 2(Width).
First, we need to determine the dimensions of the rectangle, specifically its length and width.
We can derive this equation:
24=2(2x)+2(x)
4x+2x=24
6x=24
x=24/6
x=4
Consequently, Length becomes 2x, leading to 2(4)=8.
Therefore, the length is 8 inches and the width is 4 inches.
Next, we will calculate the area of the rectangle.
The area can be computed as Length multiplied by Width.
Area=(8 in)(4 in)=32 in²
Conclusion: The area of Marshall's rectangular poster is 32 in².
