A typical towel is the shape of a rectangle.
Rectangles have 2 opposite pairs of congruent (equal) sides.
To find perimeter, find the sums of all the sides.

The measures of the towel's sides are:
2 feet
2 feet
3/4 foot
3/4 foot

Add these together to find the perimeter.

2 + 2 + 0.75 + 0.75 = 5.5

The perimeter of the towel is 5.5 feet.

Hope this helps!
