Question

'The length of a rectangle is 6 feet more than three

times the width. The perimeter is 36 feel. Find the length
and width.

Answer 1

length : 15 ft

width : 3 ft

Explanation:

perimeter = 2×l(ength) + 2×w(idth) = 36

l = 3w + 6

=> 2×(3w+6) + 2w = 36

6w + 12 + 2w = 36

8w = 24

w = 3

=> l = 3w + 6 = 3×3 + 6 = 9+6=15
