Answer:

1 4/5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Change 7/10 into 70

Change 1/5 into 20

( It will be easier to find perimeter this way )

Formula: P=2(l+w)

P=2(l+w)=2·(70+20)=180

Then, you change the 180 back into a fraction to get 1 4/5.

Answer:


\huge\boxed{1 (4)/(5)\ \text{ft}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Change
(1)/(5) so that is has a common denominator.
(1*2)/(5*2)=(2)/(10)

Make an equation.
(7+7+2+2)/(10)

Add.
(14+4)/(10)

Add.
(18)/(10)

Divide both sides by 2.
(9)/(5)

Convert to a mixed number.
1 (4)/(5)
