Question 178575
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let the length of the rectangle be represented by *[tex \Large \lambda]


Let the length of the rectangle be represented by *[tex \Large \omega]



<b>Equation 1:</b>  Perimeter formula:  *[tex \Large P = 2\lambda + 2\omega]


<b>Equation 2:</b>  Sides relationship:  *[tex \Large \lambda = 3\omega + 1]


Substitute 58 for P and *[tex \Large 3\omega + 1] for *[tex \Large \lambda] into Equation 1.


Solve the result for *[tex \Large \omega]


Substitute the value just discovered for *[tex \Large \omega] into Equation 2 and solve for *[tex \Large \lambda]
