The width of the rectangle is 36cm, which is 60% of its length. Find the perimeter and area of the rectangle.

First, we determine the length of this rectangle.

To do this, divide the known width by 60%.

We get:

36/60% = 36 / 0.6 = 60 cm.

We find the perimeter.

To do this, multiply the sum of the length and width of the rectangle by 2, or sum the lengths of all sides.

We get:

2 * (60 + 36) = 2 * 96 = 192 cm.

Or:

60 + 36 + 60 + 39 = 120 + 72 = 192 cm.

Determine the area.

We multiply the length by the width.

60 * 36 = 2160 cm2

Answer: Perimeter 192 cm, area 2160 cm2 (square centimeter).
