Answer:

33 inches

Explanation:

This is just a very simple geometry question.

Area is length x width.

So first, we have to find the width, which is 54/12=4.5.

Perimeter is all four sides added together.

We know opposite sides in a rectangle are congruent, so 2 sides would be 12 and 2 would be 4.5.

If we add them all together, it would be 9+9+4.5+4.5=33.
