Answer:

<u>Length</u> - 54 yds

<u>Width</u> - 18 yds

Step-by-step explanation:

72 yds = perimeter

3x + x =72

4x = 72

Since 4x equals 72, you would divide 72 by 4 to find out how much x equals.

72/4 = 18 yds

18 yds = width

Since the length is three times as long as the width, you would multiply 18 by 3.

18 x 3 = 54

54 yds = length
