Question

The length of a rectangle is three times its width.
The perimeter of the rectangle is 24 cm.
Calculate the area of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 27 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'w' = width

let '3w' = length

P = 2l + 2w

24 = 2(3w) + 2w

24 = 6w + 2w

24 = 8w

w = 3

l = 3(3) or 0

A = lw

A = 3(9)

A = 27
