The new dimensions of the new rectangle is length 8 inches and width 10 inches.

How to find width of a rectangle?

  • Perimeter = 26 inches
  • Length = 8 inches
  • Width = x inches

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

26 = 2(8 + x)

26 = 16 + 2x

26 - 16 = 2x

10 = 2x

x = 10/2

x = 5 inches

New rectangle

  • Same length = 8 inches

  • Twice wide = 2(5 inches)

= 10 inches

Therefore, the new dimensions of the new rectangle is length 8 inches and width 10 inches.
