Question

If the width of the rectangle is three times the lengthAnd a perimeter is 72 feet What are the length and width of the rectangle

Answer 1

Width = 27

Length = 9

*You might of switched width and length around please check*

Explanation:

Width = 3x

Length = x

Perimeter Formula

2(3x+x) = 72

2(4x) = 72

8x = 72

x = 9

Since X was found, plug it in to find the width and length

3(9) = 27

x = 9
