Heyy! Johnny Sins back with another answer for yall!

Lets see here....

The perimeter of a rectangle can be found by adding the lengths of all four sides. If the length of the rectangle is three times its width, we can write the expression for the length as 3w. Therefore, the expression for the perimeter would be:

P = 2(width) + 2(length)

P = 2w + 2(3w)

P = 2w + 6w

P = 8w

So the perimeter of the rectangle can be represented by the expression 8w.
