Answer:

  • Length = 14.7 inches.
  • Width = 4.90 inches

Explanation:

It's given that,

The length of a rectangle is three times its width.

Let width of the rectangle be x and Length of the rectangle be 3x

Perimeter of yhe rectangle is 72 inches.

Area of rectangle is calculated by,

area = length × width

3x × x = 72

3x² = 72

x² = 72/3

x² = 24

x
\approx4.90

Hence,

Width of rectangle = 4.90 inch

Length of rectangle = 3x

3 × 4.90

14.7 inches.

Hence, Length of the rectangle is 14.7 inch and width is 4.90 inch.
