If a 36 cm thread is used to wrap a book, lengthwise twice and breadth wise once, what is the size of the book?

• as per question
  let breadth is x and then length is 2x
  then thread length = perimeter of book
  so 36=2(x+2x)
  6x=36
  x=6 cm
  so size of book= 6*12

• If I have interpreted the qn correctly, then
  assuming land b as length and breadth of book of negligible thickness,
  
  then
  
  4l+2b =36
  2l+b =18
  
  many combinations are possible satisfying this equation.

• As per question (length twice=4l; Breadth once 2b)
  4l:2b
  total parts 36
  4X36/6=24
  2X36/6=12
  So dimension is 24X12

• length of the thread is 36.
  length wise twice breath wise once thn totally thrice.
  so 36/3=12.
  so length is 12*2=24
  breath is 12. area=length * breath=24*12=288sq.cm
  breath is 12. area=length * breath=24*12=288sq.cm
