Answer:

243 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the<em> base and height </em>of the rectangle

We have two conditions:

(1)   2b+ 2h = 72 in

(2)           b = 3h               Substitute in (1)

2(3h) + 2h = 72               Remove parentheses

   6h + 2h = 72               Combine like terms

           8h = 72               Divide by 6

             h = 9 in             Substitute in(2)

             b = 3 × 9

             b = 27 in

Step 2. Calculate the area of the rectangle

A = bh

A = 27 × 9

A = 243 in²

The area of the rectangle is 243 in².
