Question 410526: the perimeter of a rectangle is 24. the length of the rectangle is 3 times the width. what is the length and width of the rectangle? Answer by Adrish(44) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! SOLUTIONS: Let the width of a rectangle be "W"
Given: Length= 3W
Perimeter= 24
We know the perimeter of a rectangle is
P= 2(L +W)
24=2(3W + W)
24=2(4W)
24=8W
So, W= 24/8
W=3
Therefore the length= 3W
=3 x 3
=9
So the length is 9 and the width is 3
