Question

If the width of the rectangle is 3 times the length and the perimeter of

the rectangle is 72 ft, what are the length and width of the rectangle?
Draw and label your rectangle. Write and solve a system to find out the
length and the width.

Answer 1

W = 27 L = 9.

Explanation:

Do 72 / 8 and NOT 72/4. The reason why its not 72/4 is because its talking about the perimeter. We are finding the length so we get 9 for the length. The width is 3 times the length so the width is 27.
