Answer:

Your answer is C, 14ft

Explanation:

Your Given Measurements (in feet):

Height = 5 1/2 ; Width = 1 1/2

___________________________________________________

The Perimeter Formula:

L + W + L + W = P

In this case, the "L" which is length going to get substituted as Height.

5 1/2 is 5.5 because if you do 1/2 on the calculator, you get 0.5 which you can add 5 to get 5.5.

1 1/2 is 1.5 which is the same as the 5 1/2.

____________________________________________________

Now do 5.5 + 1.5 + 5.5 + 1.5 = perimeter

5.5 + 1.5 = 7

7 + 7 = 14ft

Your answer is C: 14 ft
