Answer: Breadth = 3 ; Length  = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be 'x'

Length = 2x

Perimeter = 18

Perimeter formula for rectangle = 2 ( length + breadth )

Substitute:

2 ( 2x + x ) = 18

2 ( 3x ) = 18

3x = 9

x = 3

Therefore, the width is 3.

The length is 2x = 2(3) = 6.

To check, find the perimeter:

2 ( 3 + 6 )

= 2 ( 9 )

= 18.

The perimeter is correct, therefore our answer for the width and breadth of the rectangle is correct.
