    The width is 1/36 feet and the length is 1/18 feet.

    The area is 1/12 feet.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If the width is x, then the length is 2x. This means:

    (2) x + (2) 2x = 1/6 | Simplify

    2x + 4x = 1/6

    6x = 1/6 | Now we divide both sides by 6

    x = 1/36 feet

    We have found the width, and we know that the length is two times this, so the length is 1/18 feet. We can check by adding these:

    1/36 + 1/36 + 1/18 + 1/18 = 1/6, which is the perimeter.

    The area is just length times width, so the area is 1/36 * 1/18 = 1/12.
