Answer:
225 inches²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length be l and width be w
Condition 1
2l+2w=68 (Perimeter=68)--------(i)
Condition 2
l=3w-2 ---------(ii)
Putting equation (ii) in (i)
2(3w-2)+2w=68
6w-4+2w=68
8w-4=68
8w=68+4
8w=72
dividing both sides by 8
w=9 inches
now putting w=9 in (ii)
l=3(9)-2
l=27-2
l=25 inches
Now
Area of rectangle = l × w
=9 × 25
=225 inches²
