Answer 1

Answer:The perimeter of the rectangle is
`(47)/(3) inch` or 15.66 inch.

Explanation:

Length of strip (I) =
`2(1)/(2) inch=(5)/(2)inch`

Length of strip (II) =
`5(1)/(3) inch=(16)/(3) inch`

According to question two strips of length

`(5)/(3) inch` is used in making rectangle:

Perimeter of rectangle = Sum of all sides of rectangle

Perimeter of rectangle =
`(5)/(2) inch+(5)/(2) inch +(16)/(3) inch+(16)/(3) inch=(47)/(3) inch`

The perimeter of the rectangle is
`(47)/(3) inch` or 15.66 inch.
