62.4 + 108.6 = 171

171*2=(170+1)*2=340+2=342

Perimeter = 342 feet

The perimeter of a figure is defined by length of its 2D shape.

For a rectangle it is the sum of the length of all its sides

P = a1 + a2 +b1 + b2

Since a rectangle has two sides with the same lengths as the other two

a1 = a2 ; b1 = b2

P = 2(a1 + b2)
