    8m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the length of thw room be L and the width be W. If the rectangular room is twice as long as it is wide then L = 2W.

    The formula for perimeter of a triangle will be addition of all the sides of the rectangle.

    Since we have two sides and 2 width in a rectangle, the perimeter;

    P = L+L+W+W

    P = 2L+2W

    Given perimeter = 48m

    48 = 2L+2W

    Substituting L = 2W into the equation gives;

    48 = 2 (2W) + 2W

    48 = 4W+2W

    48 = 6W

    W = 48/6

    W = 8m

    Therefore the width of the rectangular room will be 8m

    The width of the rectangular room = x = 8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given: A rectangular room is twice as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 48 meters.

    To find: The width of the room.

    Solution: Let the width of the rectangular room = x meters, then the length of the rectangular room will be = 2x.

    Now, Perimeter of rectangular room=2 (l+b)

    ⇒48=2 (2x+x)

    ⇒24=3x

    ⇒x=8 meters

    Then, the width of the rectangular room = x = 8 meters and the breadth of the rectangular room=2x=2 (8) = 16 meters.
