The correct Answer is:
To find the perimeter of the rectangle given that its area is \(27 \, m^2\) and its length is thrice its breadth, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the variables Let the breadth of the rectangle be \(x\). Since the length is thrice the breadth, we can express the length as: \[ \text{Length} = 3x \] ### Step 2: Use the area formula The area \(A\) of a rectangle is given by the formula: \[ A = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ 27 = 3x \times x \] This simplifies to: \[ 27 = 3x^2 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \(x\) To find \(x\), we can rearrange the equation: \[ x^2 = \frac{27}{3} \] \[ x^2 = 9 \] Taking the square root of both sides, we find: \[ x = 3 \] ### Step 4: Find the length Now that we have the breadth, we can find the length: \[ \text{Length} = 3x = 3 \times 3 = 9 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the perimeter The perimeter \(P\) of a rectangle is given by the formula: \[ P = 2 \times (\text{Length} + \text{Breadth}) \] Substituting the values we found: \[ P = 2 \times (9 + 3) = 2 \times 12 = 24 \] ### Final Answer The perimeter of the rectangle is: \[ \boxed{24 \, m} \] ---
