Given :

A rectangle with a length of 3 x and height of x. If Kyle uses 18 feet of wood to make the frame.

To Find :

The length of the frame.

Solution :

We know, perimeter of the rectangle is given by :

[tex]P=2(l+b)\\\\P=2(3x+x)\\\\P=8x[/tex]

Now, it is given that 18 feet of wood is used.

So,

[tex]8x=18\\\\x = 2.25\ feet[/tex]

Therefore, length of frame is given by  3x = 6.75 feet.

Hence, this is the required solution.
