The correct answer is: [A]: " 46 feet " .
__________________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
__________________________________________________________
The formula (equation) for the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2L + 2w ;

in which:

P = perimeter ; (for which we wish to solve) ;

L = length = 15 feet (given);

w = 8 feet (given) ;

To find the perimeter, "P" : Plug in the given values for the Length, "L" ; and the width, "w" ;
__________________________________________________________
P = 2L + 2w ;

P = 2(15 ft) + 2(8 ft) ;

P = 30 ft + 16 ft ;

P = 46 ft ; which is: Answer choice: [A] "46 feet" .
