Given:

Length of the rectangular poster = 2.5 feet.

Width of the rectangular poster = 3.5 feet

To find the length of the tape used around the edge of the poster, we simply need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular poster.

That is;

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

Perimeter of the rectangular poster = 2(2.5) + 2( 3.5)

=5 + 7

=12

Therefore, the length of the tape that he used around the edge of the poster is 12 feet.
