Answer 1

I know Im kinda late but it i 28. the other guy is correct.

Explanation:

Answer 2

scale of 1 cm to 6 inches

length is 5 ft......1 ft = 12 inches....so 5 ft = (5 * 12) = 60 inches
and if 1 cm = 6 inches...then 60 inches = (60/6) = 10 cm <=

width is 2 ft....1 ft = 12 inches...so 2 ft = (2 * 12) = 24 inches
and if 1 cm = 6 inches....then 24 inches = (24/6) = 4 cm <=

perimeter of a rectangle : P = 2(L + W)
W = 4 cm
L = 10 cm

P = 2(10 + 4)
P = 2(14)
P = 28 cm <== ur perimeter
