Answer: Perimeter = 1.962 x 10^8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the width of the rectangle. Recall,

Area = length x width

width = Area /length

From the information given,

Area = 5.612 times 10^14 cm squared

Length = 9.2 times 10^7cm

Thus,

width = 5.612 times 10^14 /9.2 times 10^7

width = 6.1 x 10^6

The formula for calculating the perimeter is

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Thus,

Perimeter = 2(9.2 x 10^7 + 6.1 x 10^6)

Perimeter = 1.962 x 10^8 cm
