To determine the width of the rectangle, we can set up an equation.

Let w be the width of the rectangle.

Given:

The length is 15 meters.

The area is 3 times its perimeter.

The area of the rectangle is given by Area = length × width.

Area = 15 × w

The perimeter of the rectangle is given by Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)

Perimeter = 2 × (15 + w) = 30 + 2w
