We know that
<span>Of all the rectangles having same area, square has the least perimeter
</span>
area of square=x²
where
x is the length side of the square
A=72 cm²
72=x²
x=√72-----> x=6√2 cm

Perimeter of square=4*x------> 4*(6√2)-----> P=24√2 cm
P=33.94 cm

the answer is
the perimeter is equal to 24√2 cm or 33.94 cm

No, it is not possible.  The total measure of all angles in a triangle must be 180.  If you add these three together, you get 190.

Tan x=opposite/adjacent
cot x=adjacent/opposite

so you need to inverse the fraction
tan x=.78 as a fraction is 78/100
-> inversed= 100/78=1.28=cot x

so it is the second option
