Question

The perimeter of the rectangle is 48 cm of the length is three times as long as the width what is the width of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

width = 6 cm

length = 18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

as given:

perimeter = 48

w = width

also

length = 3w

perimeter = 2w + 2w

= 2w+ 2(3w)

= 2w + 6w

= 8w

48. = 8w

w = 48/8

w = 6.

therefore
