Given : The perimeter of a rectangular atrium is 64 centimeters. The length of the garden is 3 times the width. Find the length and the width.
Solution :
Let us assume the breadth be B
The length is three times the breadth So, the length be 3B
Perimeter of the rectangle = 64 cm
Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth)
64 cm = 2(3B + B)
64 cm = 2(4B)
64 cm = 8B
B = 8 cm
- Length = 3B = 3(8) = 24 cm
