You can put this solution on YOUR website! THe Length of A Rectangle is 3 times the width.
The Perimeter is 44cm.
What are the dimensions of the Rectangle ?
-------
Let the width be "w".
The the length = "3w".
-------------------------
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
44 = 2(3w+w)
22 = 4w
w = 5.5 cm (width)
3w = 16.5 cm (length)
