The length of a rectangle is equal to triple the width. Write a system of equations can be used to tind the dimensions of the rectangle if the perimeter is 98 centimeters?

Respuesta :

Answer:

98 = 2w + 2L,

L = 3w

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the perimeter formula:

2) Perimeter = 2w + 2L (where w is the width and L is the length)

Since the length is three times the width we can write:

L = 3w

We can substitue L with 3w:

Perimeter is equal to 98 so,

98 = 2w + 6w = 8w

W = 98/8

Therefore w is 12.25, and L is 36.75
