Hello.

The answer is: 24

length=3*width, this can be written as 3w

area=27 sq cm

Formula for the area of a rectangle=27 (area)= 3w (length) * w (width)

27=3w^2

then divide both sides by 3: 9=w^2

take the square root of both sides to get: w=3

Now that we know what the width is, we can substitute that and find the length: 3w= 3*3=24

have a nice day
