Its area is then 36 square inches.  Now the width of the rectangle is 3 inches, and its length is unknown L.  Its area is then 3L square inches.  Since the square and the rectangle have the same area, 3L = 36, or L = 12.  Therefore the perimeter of the rectangle is 2(3 + 12) = 2*15 = 30 inches. </SPAN>\n" );
