Question

The length of a rectangle is 3 times twice the width. The perimeter is 36. What are the side lengths?

Answer 1

Answer & Explanation:

For this question, you need to figure out the length and the width because the area is directly related to them (A = l*w).

What we do know is that the perimeter is 36 inches. Since the perimeter is equal to P = 2l + 2w, we can say:

P = 36 = 2(3 + 2w) + 2(w), where the length l is 3 + 2w

Solve for w first, then solve for l. Use these values to find the area.
