My answer key says the answer is (E), but I don't understand how you get the answer. Please help me! Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Set L = length
W = width
L = 3W
The perimeter of a rectangle is 2W + 2L ( two short sides and two long sides )
Substituting 3W for L
2W + 2(3W)
2W + 6W
8W
