The length of a rectangle is 3 times longer than its width. If the area of the rectangle is 24 square inches, then what is the perimeter of the rectangle?
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "The length of a rectangle is 3 times longer than its width.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "1 times longer = 2x as long
\n" ); document.write( "2 times longer = 3x as long
\n" ); document.write( "3 times longer = 4x as long
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "L = 4W
\n" ); document.write( "L*W = 24
\n" ); document.write( "4W*W = 24
\n" ); document.write( "W^2 = 6
\n" ); document.write( "\"W+=+sqrt%286%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"L+=+4sqrt%286%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2L + 2W
\n" ); document.write( "\"p+=+10sqrt%286%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "P =~ 24.5\r
