Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
sides are x, 4+2x,
120 = 2x +8+4x = 8+6x
6x = 120-8 = 112
x = 112/6 =18 2/3 inches wide
4+2x = 4+37 1/3 = 41 1/3 inches Long
perimeter = 2(L+w) = 2(41 1/3 + 18 2/3) = 2(60) = 120 inches

Perhaps the 5th word in your question should be rectangle (instead of triangle)? Review post for accuracy.05/01/23
