Question

he length of a rectangle is three times the width. The perimeter is 240 inches. Find the length and the width.

Answer 1

Answer:

Length = 90 inch.

width = 30 inch

Let width of the rectangle = x inch.

So the length = 3x inch.

Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2 (3x + x) = 8x.

So,

length = 3x = 3(30) = 90 inch.

width = x = 30 inch
