Answer:

163.8 yd

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the length added to twice the width.

The width is 23.4 yd.

The length is 2.5 times the width, so to find the length, we multiply the width by 2.5.

length = 2.5 * width = 2.5 * 23.4 yd = 58.5 yd

The length is 58.5 yd.

perimeter = 2 * length + 2 * width

perimeter = 2 * 58.5 yd + 2 * 23.4 yd

perimeter = 117 yd + 46.8 yd

perimeter = 163.8 yd

Hey!

-------------------------------------------------


\large\boxed{Perimeter~of~the~retangular~park~is~163.8~yards!}

-------------------------------------------------


Steps To Solve:


Find~the~length.


23.4~*~2.5~=~58.5


Find~the~perimeter.


p~=~(length~*~2)~+~(width~*~2)


p~=~(58.5~*~2)~+~(23.4~*~2)


p~=~117~+~46.8


p~=~163.8

Hope~This~Helped!~Good~Luck!
