Note: 1 foot is made up of 12 inches.

3 feet 7 inches = 3 * 12 + 7 = 36 + 5 = 41

2 feet 7 inches = 2 * 12 + 7 = 24 + 7 = 31

Part A

P = 2L + 2W Substitute the above Values into this equation

P = 2*41 + 2*31 Combine

P = 82 + 62 Add

Answer: P = 144

Part B

1 inch costs 0.5 dollars

144 inches cost x

1/144 = 0.5/x Cross Multiply

x = 144 * 0.5

Answer: x = 72 dollars
