The length of a rectangle is three times the width. the parameter is 240 inches. find the length and width

L = 90 inches

W = 30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the length of a rectangle L is three times the width

That’s

L = 3w

And perimeter = 240 inches

Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by

P = 2(L + W)

L = 3w

We now have two equations

Now substitute 3w for L in The above formula and 240 for P.

We have

240 = 2(3w + w)

Distribute 2 into (3w + w)

240 = 2 x 3w + 2 x w

240 = 6w + 2w

240 = 8w

Divide both sides by 8

240/8 = 8w/8

30 = w

W = 30inches

Now substitute 30 for w into either of the above equations to get L .

Using

L = 3w

L = 3 x 30

L = 90 inches

L = 90 inches and

W = 30 inches

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
