Heya!
---------
=======================================================
✴Let the Length of the Rectangle be 3x cm
✴Let the Breadth of the Rectangle be x cm
=> Perimeter = 36 cm < Given >
♦Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2 × ( L + B )
Therefore ,
---------------
2 × ( 3x + x ) = 36
=> 4x = 18
=> x = 18/4
=> x = 4.5 cm
✴Length of Rectangle = 3 × 4.5 = 13.5 cm
✴Breadth of Rectangle = x = 4.5 cm

lenght and breadth = 3:1
let lenght = 3x
and breadth = 1x
perimeter = 36
but peremeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)
so 36 = 2(3x+1x)
8x = 36
x = 36/8
x = 4.5
so b = 4.5
then l = 3×4.5 = 13.5
