Rectangle square division

The perimeter of the rectangle, which can be divided into three squares, is 168 cm. Determine the lengths of its sides.

Final Answer:

a =  63 cm
b =  21 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

o=168 cm 2(a+b) = o a = 3b  a+b=o/2 3b+b=o/2 4b = o/2 8b = o b=o/8=168/8=21 cm  a=3 b=3 21=63 cm
b=21=21 cm
