The total amount of fence needed to enclose the parallelogram-shaped lot is 571.4 inches. ​​Option B

How do we solve for the perimeter of the parallelogram?

The parallelogram provided, the top side is 198.3 inches and the side is 87.4 inches. This measurement will apply to all sides.

The formula for the perimeter P of a parallelogram is: P = 2a + 2b

a = 198.3 inches

b = 87.4 inches

P = 2 × 198.3 + 2 × 87.4

P = 396.6 + 174.8

P = 571.4

Therefore, 571.4 inches of fencing will be needed to fence the lot.
