The length of the rectangle is 6 cm and the width is 3 times shorter. Draw this rectangle and find its perimeter.

1. Let’s first find the width of the rectangle, which is three times less than the length:

6/3 = 2 (cm).

2. Now you can calculate the perimeter using the formula:

P = 2 x (A + B);

where A is the length of the rectangle, and B is its width.

Substitute the values:

P = 2 x (6 + 2);

P = 2 x 8;

P = 16 (cm).

Answer: The perimeter of the rectangle is 16 cm.
