The width of rectangle is 10 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = 60 centimeters

Let,

w be the width of rectangle.

The length of a rectangle is twice the width.

length of rectangle = 2w

We know that;

Perimeter = P = 2(Length+Width)

P = 2(2w+w)

Solving the Equation;

[tex]60=2(3w)\\60=6w\\6w=60[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 6;

[tex]\frac{6w}{6}=\frac{60}{6}\\w=10[/tex]

The width of rectangle is 10 cm.
