The length of the rectangle is 10 cm and perimeter of the rectangle is 32 cm.

Explanation:

Given,

The area of rectangle = 60 sq cm

Width (b) of the rectangle = 6 cm

To find the length and perimeter of the rectangle.

Formula

The area of the rectangle = l×b

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l+b)

According to the problem,

l×b = 60

or, l×6 = 60

or, l = 60÷6 = 10

Length (l) = 10 cm

Perimeter = 2×(10+6) cm = 32 cm
