Question

The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width the perimeter is 24ft find the dimensions of the rectangle

Answer 1

Explanation:

let the unknown be x

length = 3x

width = x

Perimeter = 2 lengths + 2 widths

24 ft = 3x + 3x + x + x

24 ft = 8x

3 ft = x

dimensions = length × width

= 3(3) × 3

= 9 ft × 3 ft

if you wanna check,

24 ft = 3(3) + 3(3) + 3 + 3

24 ft = 24
