Question 702353
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let *[tex \LARGE w] represent the width.  Then *[tex \LARGE 3w] must represent the length.  Since for any rectangle, *[tex \LARGE P\ =\ 2l\ +\ 2w] you can write:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2(3w)\ +\ 2w\ =\ 160]


Solve for *[tex \LARGE w].  Then since the area is given by the length times the width, calculate *[tex \LARGE 3w^2]
