Answer:


17\text{ }(2)/(3)\text{ mm}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the perimeter of the rectangle

Mathematically, the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:


P\text{ = 2\lparen L + B\rparen}

Substituting the values, we have it that:


\begin{gathered} P\text{ = 2\lparen4}(1)/(3)\text{ + 4}(1)/(2)) \\ \\ P\text{ = 2\lparen}(13)/(3)+\text{ }(9)/(2)) \\ \\ P\text{ = 2\lparen}\frac{26\text{ + 27}}{6}) \\ \\ P\text{ = }(53)/(3)\text{ = 17 }(2)/(3)\text{ mm} \end{gathered}
