The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width. The perimeter is 44 cm. What are the dimensions of the rectangle? Write and solve a system of equations to solve the problem.
Here are your equations: x and 3x How to set up: 2(x)+ 2(3x) = 44 Simplify: 8x = 44 Divide: x = 5.5 Plug back in to find values: Width = 5.5 Length = 16.5
