Question 759458: A new City park is rectangular. The length is triple the width. It will take 240 yards of fencing to go around the park. Find the length and width of the park.

Width = x
Length = 3x
Perimeter = 2*width + 2*length
240 = 2(x) + 2(3x)
240 = 2x + 6x
240 = 8x
x = 240/8
x = 30
So, Width = 30ft and Length = 90ft.
Hope this helps.
