Question 980534: The length of a rectangle is triple the width of the rectangle. If the perimeter is 216 inches, what is the length of this rectangle? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Make the width = 'x'
Width = x
Length = 3x
Perimeter = 2 x Length + 2 x Width
216 = 2(3x) + 2(x)
216 = 6x + 2x
8x = 216
x = 27
Width = 27 ins
Length = 81 ins
Hope this helps:-)
