Length = L, Width = W, Area = A, Perimeter = P
L = 2W
A = L*W = 2W*W = 2W^2
P = 2L + 2W
P = 6W
Perimeter of of a square whose area is 1
= S^2 = 1 (S= Side of a square)
= S = 1
Then, P = 4*S = 4
Now,
4 = 6W
W = 4/6
A = 2*W^2 = 2*(4/6)^2
A = 2*(16/36)
A = 8/9
E is the answer
L = 2W
A = L*W = 2W*W = 2W^2
P = 2L + 2W
P = 6W
Perimeter of of a square whose area is 1
= S^2 = 1 (S= Side of a square)
= S = 1
Then, P = 4*S = 4
