Answer:

[tex]121=6w[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle:

[tex]P=2l+2w[/tex]

[tex]w[/tex] = width

[tex]l[/tex] = length

Since the length is twice the width,

[tex]l=2w[/tex].

So, plugging these values into the formula, as well as the given perimeter of 121 feet, we get,

[tex]121 = 2(2w)+2w[/tex]

And after some simplification, we are left with,

[tex]121 = 6w[/tex]
