Answer: Perimeter = 1.962 x 10^8 cm
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the width of the rectangle. Recall,
Area = length x width
width = Area /length
From the information given,
Area = 5.612 times 10^14 cm squared
Length = 9.2 times 10^7cm
Thus,
width = 5.612 times 10^14 /9.2 times 10^7
width = 6.1 x 10^6
The formula for calculating the perimeter is
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Thus,
Perimeter = 2(9.2 x 10^7 + 6.1 x 10^6)
Perimeter = 1.962 x 10^8 cm
