Answer: 34 meters.

Step-by-step explanation;

Step One. Find the value of the width. Use an equation with w representing the width and the two values you already have. 9 meters x w = 72 square meters.

Step Two. Solve for width. This is w = 8.

Step Three. Use the value for width in a perimeter formula to calculate the perimeter; 9(2) + 8(2). This is 34 meters for perimeter.
