Answer: length=27, width 9

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, you should set up an equation. The length is 3x, and the width is x. To find the perimeter of a triangle, you do length times two + width times two. So 6x+2x=72. 8x=72, x=9. Length is 27, width is 9.

Answer:

Length: 27cm

Width: 9cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of the rectangle is 3 times the width, we can assume the    width=x and the length=3x.

      P=72cm

     Perimeter= 3x+3x+x+x

Set the 2 equations equal to each other

   72=3x+3x+x+x

Solve for x

   72=8x

   9=x

Length=3x

   Length=9(3)

   Length=27

Width=x

   Width=9
