Question

A rectangle is three times as long as it is wide. It’s perimeter is 36 units. Find the length of each side

Answer 1

9 36 divided by 4 is 9

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let us say that the width is x

So this means that the legth is 3 times the width or 3x

Perimeter means to add up all the sides in the shape

So form an equation : 2(x)+2(3x)=36

And once you solve it you get x=36/8.

The width is 3(36/8) which is 13.5

Hope this Helps
