This a question about perimeter and equation, let's see how to solve that:
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of its 4 sides. In this case, we know that the perimeter is 118. We can do an equation with these datas:
We also know other informations: the side AB is equal to and de side BC is equal to 3y. In a recltangle, parallels sides have the same value. So, the side CD is equal to and the side DA is equal to 3y.
Now, we have these datas:
Let's do and solve an equation:
So, the value of y is 8. Let's replace the value of y in the side AB:
Therefore, the length of side AB is 35.
