Find the dimension of the rectangle if one of its sides are three times as long as the other side, and its perimeter is 88 meters
***
let x=width of rectangle (other side)
3x=length of rectangle (one of its sides)
2(length+width)=perimeter
2(x+3x)=88
8x=88
x=11
3x=33
width of rectangle=11 m
length of rectangle=33 m
