The width of the rectangle can be represented as x, and the length can be 5x.  Therefore, the area of the rectangle is x(5x)=84.

Solve for x:

6x=84

*Divide both sides by 6*

x=14


So, the width of the rectangle is 14.  To find the length, multiply 14 by 5.  The length is 70.


To find the perimeter, add up the length of each side:

14+14+70+70=168


The perimeter of the rectangle is 168.
