Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2(L + W)

P = 56

L = 12

now sub...we are looking for w

56 = 2(12 + W)

56 = 24 + 2W

56 - 24 = 2W

32 = 2W

32/2 = W

16 = W <==== the width is 16 inches

check...

P = 2(L + W)

56 = 2(12 + 16)

56 = 2(28)

56 = 56 (correct)

3 parts = 9 inches

Find 1 part:

1 part = 9 ÷ 3 = 3 inches

Find 7 parts:

7 parts = 3 x 7 = 21 inches

Area = Length x Width = 21 x 9 = 189 in²

Answer: The longer side is 21in and the area is 189 in²
