PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS

Chloe is installing new windows in her house and needs to determine the amount of sealant she will need around the outside edge of each rectangular window. Each of the windows has an area of 2,160 in² with a length of 60 inches. What is the perimeter of each window?

To find the width of each window, use the formula W= A/I , where w represents the width, A represents the area, and l
represents the length. To find the perimeter, use the formula P= 2I + 2 W where P represents the perimeter, l represents the length, and w represents the width.

a. 18 inches
b. 36 inches
c. 92 inches
d. 192 inches

Answer:

d. 192 inches

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length and the width. If we are given the area, we can find the missing measurement by dividing:

2160/60 = 36

This means the width is 36 inches.

To find the perimeter, we add together all of the sides of the rectangle. There are two sides with a length of 60 and two sides with a length of 36:

60+60+36+36 = 192 inches
