Perimeter of window is 192 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Area of rectangular window = 2160 inches square

Length of rectangular window = 60 inches

Required:

Perimeter of window=?

Formula to find Perimeter is:

$Perimeter=2(length+Width)$

We first find width of rectangular window by using formula of area:

$Area=Length*Width$

Putting values:

$Area=Length*Width\\2160=60*Width\\Width=\frac{2160}{60}\\Width=36\,\,inches$

So, width = 36 inches

Now finding perimeter:

$Perimeter=2(length+Width)\\Perimeter=2(60+36)\\Perimeter=2(96)\\Perimeter=192\,\,inches$

So, perimeter of window is 192 inches.
