Answer 1

The answer to your question is 84 ft

Explanation:

Data

length = 30 ft

width = 2/5 length

Process

1.- Calculate the width

Width = 2/5(30)

Width = 60/5

Width = 12 ft

2.- Calculate the perimeter

Perimeter = 2length + 2width

-Substitution

Perimeter = 2(30) + 2(12)

-Simplification

Perimeter = 60 + 24

-Result

Perimeter = 84 ft
