Final answer:

The perimeter of the rectangle with a length of 39.2 meters and a width of 17.5 meters is calculated using the formula P = 2l + 2w, resulting in 113.4 meters, which does not match any of the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, the formula is P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle. Given the length (l) is 39.2 meters and the width (w) is 17.5 meters, the perimeter (P) can be calculated as follows:

  • P = 2×39.2 m + 2×17.5 m
  • P = 78.4 m + 35 m
  • P = 113.4 m

However, none of the options provided (A) 120 meters, (B) 90 meters, (C) 70 meters, or (D) 60 meters matches the calculated perimeter. It is possible there might be an error in the options given or in the initial problem statement.
