Answer:

[tex]Height = 15[/tex]

[tex]Base = 45[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Rectangle

[tex]Perimeter = 120cm[/tex]

[tex]Base = 3 * Height[/tex]

Required

Determine the dimensions

The perimeter of a rectangle is:

[tex]Perimeter = 2 * (Base + Height)[/tex]

Substitute 120 for Perimeter

[tex]120 = 2 * (Base + Height)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]60 = Base + Height[/tex]

Substitute 3 * Height for Base

[tex]60 = 3 * Height + Height[/tex]

[tex]60 = 3Height + Height[/tex]

[tex]60 = 4Height[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4

[tex]15 = Height[/tex]

[tex]Height = 15[/tex]

Substitute 15 for Height in [tex]Base = 3 * Height[/tex]

[tex]Base = 3 * 15[/tex]

[tex]Base = 45[/tex]
