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

1) First you need to find the length of the rectangle:

8 * 3 = 24 dm.

2) The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is:

S = a * b, where a and b are the sides of the rectangle.

24 * 8 = 192 dm².

3) The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is:

S = 2 (a + b), where a and b are the sides of the rectangle.

2 (24 + 8) = 2 * 32 = 64 dm.

Answer: 192 dm²; 64 dm.
