    The dimensions are: Width = 15ft

    Length=30ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Perimeter of fence=90feet

    He wants to make a rectangle with dimensions length and with.

    The rectangle length is twice as long as the width = L = 2W

    Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (L + W)

    90 = 2 (2W + W)

    90 = 6W

    90/6=W=15ft

    L=2W = 2 * 15=30ft

    W = 15 ft. and L = 30 ft.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Perimeter = 90 ft.

    Twice as long as it is wide: L=2W

    P = 2 (L + W) = 2 (2W + W) = 6W

    90 = 6W

    W = 15 ft. and L = 30 ft.
