Answer:

29 2/3 ft

Explanation:

The perimeter is found using the formula

P = 2 ( l+w)

where l is the length and w is the width

P = 2(8 1/6 + 6 2/3)

Getting a common denominator

P = 2 ( 8 1/6 + 6 4/6)

= 2 ( 14 5/6)

= 28 10/6

Changing the improper fraction to a mixed number

= 28 + 1 4/6

Simplifying

= 29 2/3 ft
