The length of a rectangle is three times its breadth. The perimeter of that rectangle is .
Find its length and width.
The perimeter of the rectangle with length and width is given by, .
Let the width of the rectangle be , then the length of the rectangle will be .
Step 1: Substitute , and into and solve for .
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by and solve for .
Step 3: Substitute into and to find the length and width of the rectangle.
;
Hence, the length of the rectangle is and the width of the rectangle is .
