A rectangle has a circumference of 240 meters and a length of 1.5 times the width. What is the area of the rectangle?

Suppose the width is x, then the length is 1.5x
2(x+1.5x)=240
The solution of the equation is: x = 48 (m)
So the length of the rectangle is 72m and the width is 48m
S (area) = 72x48 = 3456 (M2)
