Hello!

We know that perimeter is the distance around a figure. It's like a border.

That figure is a rectangle, and the formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2l + 2w

The length is the longer side, and the width is the shorter side. Substitute:

P = 2(3.3) + 2(2.75)

P = 6.6 + 5.5

P = 12.1

ANSWER:

The perimeter of the figure is 12.1 feet long.
