Answer:


\boxed{ \bold {\huge{ \text{30 \: cm}}}}

Explanation:


\star{ \sf{ \underline{ \: \: Given}}}

Area of a rectangle ( A ) = 36 cm²

Width of a rectangle ( w ) = 3 cm


\star{ \sf{ \underline{ \: \: To \: Find}}} :

Perimeter of a rectangle ( P ) = ?

First, finding the length of a rectangle ( l ) :


\boxed{\text{area \: of \: a \: rectangle = length ∗ width}}


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{36 = length * 3}}


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{36 = 3 \: length}}


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{3 \: length = 36}}


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ (3 \: length)/(3) = (36)/(3) }}


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{length = 12 \: cm}}

Length of a rectangle = 12 cm

Now, finding the perimeter of a rectangle having length of 12 cm and width of 3 cm


\boxed{ \text{perimeter \: of \: a \: rectangle = 2(l + w)}}


{ \sf{perimeter \: of \: a \: rectangle = 2(12 + 3)}}


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{perimeter \: of \: rectangle = 2 * 15}}


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{perimeter \: of \: rectangle = 30 \: cm}}

Perimeter of a rectangle = 30 cm

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
