Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle be x
Since the length is one more than twice the width. Therefore, the length will be: = 2x + 1
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + breadth)
50 = 2(2x + 1 + x)
50 = 2(3x + 1)
50 = 6x + 2
6x = 50 - 2
6x = 48
x = 48/6
x= 8
Width = 8ft
Length = 2x + 1 = 2(8) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17ft
Area = Length × Width = 17 × 8 = 136ft^2
