Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ {60.2 \: m}}}}}}

Explanation:

Given,

Area of rectangular piece of land ( l ) = 220 m²

Width ( w ) = 12.5 m

Finding length of the rectangular piece of land


\boxed{ \sf{area \: of \: rectangle = l * w}}

plug the values


\sf{220 = l * 12.5}

Swap the sides of the equation


\sf{12.5 \: l = 220}

Divide both sides of the equation by 12.5


\sf{ (12.5 \: l)/(12.5) = (220)/(12.5) }

Calculate


\sf{l = 17.6 \: m}

Length of rectangular piece of land ( l )= 17.6 m

Finding perimeter of rectangular piece of land


\boxed{ \sf{perimeter \: of \: rectangle = 2(l + b)}}

plug the values of length and breadth


\sf{2(17.6 + 12.5) }

Add the numbers


\sf{2 * 30.1}

Multiply the numbers


\sf{60.2 \: m}

Therefore, Perimeter of rectangular piece of land is 60.2 m

Hope I helped!
