Answer:

36

Explanation:

Area = L*W

A = 144 cm^2

w = 6

L=?

144 = 6*L Divide by 6

144/6 = 6L/6

L = 24

P= 2w + 2L

P = 2*6 + 2*24

P = 12 + 25

P = 36 cm

Find the length by dividing area by breadth:

144 /6 = 24 cm

Perimeter = 2breath + 2length

Perimeter = 2(6) + 2(24)

Perimeter = 12 + 48

Perimeter = 60 cm
