Answer:

144in

Step-by-step explanation:

METHOD 1:

18 - 36

x - 48

36x = 18 * 48

36x = 864

x = 24

ALTERNATIVE METHOD:

18:36 (breadth:length)

1:2

When the length is 48in, the breadth is half the length, hence, the breadth is 24in.

Final Solution:

So, when the base is 48in, the width is 24in.

Since we have the two values

P = 2(l+b)

= 2(48+24)

= 2 * 72

= 144in

Feel free to mark this as brainliest! :D
