The width of the rectangle is 8 inches, which is one third of its length. find the perimeter and area of the rectangle.

If the number 8 is 1/3 of the length of the rectangle, then we find the length of this figure by increasing its side by three times:

1) 8 * 3 = 24 decimetres.

Now let’s subtract the perimeter, knowing that the perimeter is the sum of all four sides of the rectangle:

R = 8 dm + 8 dm + 24 dm + 24 dm = 16 dm + 48 dm = 64 dm.

Or, let’s subtract the perimeter in another way:

P = 8 * 2 + 24 * 2 = 16 + 48 = 64 centimeters.

Next, we will find the area by multiplying the width of the figure by its length:

S = 8 dm * 24 dm = 192 dm2.
