Given:

Area of Window = 2160 in^2

Length = 60 inches

Determine the perimeter of a window.

Let us assume that the window is rectangular in shape since if we square the length it does not equal to the area.

Formula for the Area of the rectanlge:

A = lw

Formula for the Perimeter of the rectangle:

P = 2 (l + w)

Solution:

We determine first the width the rectangle based on its area in order to find the perimeter.

A = lw

w = A/l

w = 2160/ 60

w =36

Now that we have the width, we substitute the given values to the formula for the perimeter of the rectangle.

P = 2 ( 60 + 36)

P = 2 ( 96)

P = 192 inches.

Final answer:
P= 192 inches.
