Using the given information find the length and width of the base:
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
L = 3W
Replace L in the first equation:
Perimeter = 2(3W) + 2w
96 = 2(3W) +2W
Simplify:
96 = 6W +2W
96 = 8w
Divide both sides by 8:
w = 96 / 8
w = 12
The width is 12 inches.
The length = 3 x 12 = 36 inches.
Volume = L x W X H
Volume = 36 x 12 x 14
Volume = 6,048 cubic inches.
