Question

The length of a rectangle is three times its width.

If the area of the rectangle is 75 yd?, find its perimeter.
​

Answer 1

Length times width equals area of a rectangle

Length=3x

Width=x

(3x)(x)=75

3x squared=75

x=5

Length=3(5)

Length=15

Width=5

Perimeter=2(length plus width)

Perimeter=2(15+5)

=2(20)

=40
