    length=14 Inches

    Width = 4 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 (l+w)

    2 (l+w) = 36 (Equation 1)

    The length is 2 inches greater than three times the width

    l=2+3w (Equation 2)

    Putting value of l from equation 2 in equation 1

    2 (2+3w+w) = 36

    2 (2+4w) = 36

    4+8w=36

    8w=32

    w=32/8

    w=4 Inches

    Putting value of w in equation 2

    l=2 + (3*4)

    l=14 Inches
