Question

Hey i really need help with this. thank you:))

Answer 1

Given:

`L=2(1)/(2)` ft and
`W=3(2)/(5)` ft.

`P=2L+2W`

To find:

The value of P.

Solution:

We have,

`P=2L+2W`

Substituting
`L=2(1)/(2)` and
`W=3(2)/(5)`, we get

`P=2* 2(1)/(2)+2* 3(2)/(5)`

`P=2* (2(2)+1)/(2)+2* (3(5)+2)/(5)`

`P=2* (5)/(2)+2* (17)/(5)`

`P=5+(34)/(5)`

Taking LCM, we get

`P=(5(5)+34)/(5)`

`P=(25+34)/(5)`

`P=(59)/(5)`

`P=11(4)/(5)`

Therefore, the value of P is
`11(4)/(5)` ft.
