Question

Jonathan is building a fence for his chickens. The length of a rectangle is

equal to triple the width. The perimeter(P=2L+2W) is 72 centimeters. What
is the width of the fence?

Answer 1

Width = 9

Explanation:

(P=2L+2W) = 72

L = 3W<- length is triple the width

(P = 2(3W) + 2W) = 72

P = 8W =72

W = 9
