Answer:

1. The perimeter of the basketball poster is 240.

The perimeter of the football poster is 282.

3. Football poster has the greater perimeter.

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of the basketball poster you multiply the given side by 4 since there is 4 sides. So 60 * 4 = 240.

To find the perimeter of the football poster you use the formula 2(l+w). So our l (length) is 86, while our w(width) is 86. So plug it in the formula.

2(55+86)=282.

282 > 240, which means that the football poster has a greater perimeter.

Hope that helps, have a good day!! :D
