Question

The length of a rectangle is three times it’s width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 100 inches. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answer 1

let the width be x inches

then the length would be 3x inches

perimeter of rectangle = p = 2(l+b)

100= 2(3x+x)

100= 2(4x)

100=8x

x=100/8

x=12.5 inches

thw width is 12.5 inches and length is 3*12.5=37.5 inches
