The length of a rectangle is 3 times longer than it’s width. if the area of the rectangle is 24 square inches, then what is the perimeter of the rectangle?

3w)w = 24in^2  (Tossing out the negative solution for unit measure)

3w^2 = 24

w^2 = 8

w =  2√2in  and L = 6√2in L+=+3w

P = 2L + 2w = 16√2in  

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
