One side of a rectangular lot is three times longer than the other . Its perimeter fence is 48 meters/long what is the length and width of the lot?
Answer:
6m and 18m
Step-by-step explanation:
Define x:
Let x be the width of the rectangle
The length of the rectangle is 3x
Solve x
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
48 = 2( 3x + x)
48 = 2(4x)
48 = 8x
x = 48 ÷ 8
x = 6
Find the length and width:
Width = x = 6m
Length = 3x = 3(6) = 18 m
Answer: The length and width is 6 m and 18 m
