the perimeter of one rectangle is 120cm. another rectangle with twice the length amd and one third the width has a perimeter of 170 cm. what are the dimensions of the two rectangles?​

Dimensions of 1st rectangle,

length = 39 cm, width = 21 cm.

Dimensions of the 2nd rectangle,

length = 78 cm, width = 7 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimensions of the 1st rectangle be,

Length = x, width = y

so the dimensions of the 2nd rectangle becomes,

Length = 2x, width = y/3

perimeter of the first rectangle,

2(x+y)=120 (i)

perimeter of the 2nd rectangle,

2(2x+y/3)=170 (ii)

if we solve equation (i) and (ii), we'll get,

x = 39

y = 21

for the other rectangle, 2x = 78, y/3 = 7.
