Answer: B) 54 feet

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Perimeter of a rectangle: 2L + 2 W

Where:

L= Length

W= Width

Replacing with the values given:

Perimeter: 2(15)+2(12)=30+24=54 feet

In conclusion, they need 54 feet. The correct option is option B).

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
