Suppose a farm has pens for raising insects. A pen is shaped as a rectangle that measures x meters wide and 2x meters long and has an area of 2.88 square meters. What is the value of "x"

1.2 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of pen = 2x meters

width of pen = x meters

shape of pen is  rectangular

we know that area of rectangle is given by length * width

Thus, area of the pen is x*2x =

It is also given that area of pen is 2.8 square meters.

Equating numerical value of area  with area in terms of x, we have

Thus value of x is 1.2 meters.
