Question

The length of a rectangle is 3/8 its width. If its perimeter is 66, what is its length?

Answer 1

Woops read the question wrong!

Answer 2

Let's hope you're really not as username would suggest.
First step in this sort of problem is representing values. We could let x be the length.

Answer 3

If that's so... what's the width?

Answer 4

This is a better drawing

Answer 5

\[x+x+\frac{3x}{8}+\frac{3x}{8} = 66\]
