A rectangle’s length is three times its width, w. Its area is 243 square units. Which equation can be used to find the width of the rectangle?

The rectangle’s length is 3w and its width is w. Using area = length × width gives (3w)(w) = 243, or 3w² = 243. Therefore, the correct choice is “3w² = 243.”
