What is the greatest perimeter of a rectangle with the same area of 39 square feet?

There is no greatest perimeter.  The longer and skinnier you make the rectangle,
the greater its perimeter will become, while the area remains the same.

Example:

6-ft by 6.5-ft .. . . area = 39 sq ft, perimeter = 25 ft
3-ft by 13-ft . . . . area = 39 sq ft, perimeter = 32 ft
1-ft by 39-ft . . . . area = 39 sq ft, perimeter = 80 ft
0.1-ft by 390-ft . . area = 39 sq ft, perimeter = 780.2 ft.
