Answer:
length of rectangle = 32.25 cm
Width of rectangle = 10.75 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of rectangle be x.
And width of rectangle be y.
According to the problem,
x = 3y {Since the length of a rectangle is equal to triple the width}
Also,
Perimeter of rectangle = 86
or 2 (x + y) = 86
Plug x =3y in the above equation
We get, 2(3y + y) = 86
2 * 4y = 86
4y = 43
y = 43/4 = 10.75
So, length of rectangle = 3 * 10.75 = 32.25cm
Width of rectangle = 10.75cm
