denis-greek [22]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define length and width
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the width be x
Width = x
Length = 3x

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equation and solve for x
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x(3x) = 48
3x² = 48
x² = 48 ÷ 3
x² = 16
x = √16
x = 4

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find length and width
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Width = x = 4
Length = 3x = 3(4) = 12

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Width = 4cm, Length = 12cm
