Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be w. The length is then 3w (length is 3 times its width).

The formula for the perimeter is 2l + 2w (2 times the length + 2 times the width)

So, in our case we have 2(3w) + 2w = 72

                                  6w + 2w = 72

                                  8w = 72   divide both sides by 8

                                  w = 9

So the length = 3w = 3 x 9 = 27

Double check: we have l = 27 and w= 9. (2 x 27) + (2 x 9) = 54 + 18 = 72  Yay!!!
