3. THE WIDTH OF A RECTANGLE IS 12 CM. WHAT IS THE PERIMETER OF THE RECTANGLE IF THE LENGTH IS 3 TIMES THE WIDTH? 12 cm 3w3w Step 1: Find the length Substitute w for 12 Length = 3w Length = 3 x 12 Length = 36 centimeters Step 2: Find the Perimeter 2(3w) + 2(12)= 2 (3 *12) + 2 (12) = 2( 36) + 2 ( 12) = 72 + 24= 96 centimeters
