The perimeter is the sum of the sides since opposite sides are = in rectangle add 2w+2l let x=width 3x= length 8x= 120 x=15 substitute 15 for x w=15 l= 45 area= l x w 15 x 45 = 675 area = 675 cm.

The formula for perimeter is 
P = 2l + 2w
In this particular case you are given that the length is three times the width:
3l = w
In this case, you are also given:
P = 120
Therefore,
120 = 2l + 2w
At this point you have a system of equations:
120 = 2l + 2w
l = 3w
Now you can use substitution (plug in 3w for l in the perimeter equation)
120 = 2(3w) + 2w
Simplify:
120 = 6w + 2w
120 = 8w
120/8 = 8w/8
15 = w
Plug in the width into one of your original equations to get the length:
l = 3*15
l = 45
Now you know that l = 45 and w = 15
Now, you plug this information in for your equation for area:
A = l*w
A = 45*15
A = 675
The area of the rectangle is 675 cm²

Who would have a difficult time responding to this survey question? Select all that apply.
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

18 and 65

Step-by-step explanation:

under 18 would be 17 and under, therefore not including 18 year olds. obviously they are not 19 yet either, so they wouldn't fall into either category, therefore they may be unsure of what to answer.

same with 65 year olds; they are more than 64 year old, but not yet /over/ 65, therefore they would not fit into either category either.
