Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

First of all, all the units must be the same. Inches is probably the best unit to use.

Second the base line at the bottom must be completed. How long is it

Givens

Left side = 48 inches

Top = 3 yards

  • 1 yard is 36 inches.
  • 3 yard is 3* 36 = 108 inches.

Right side = 5 feet.

  • 1 foot = 12 inches
  • 5 feet = 12 * 5 = 60 inches

Bottom = 1 yard + top

Bottom = 1 yard + 3 yards

Bottom = 4 yards

  • 1 yard = 36 inches
  • 4 yards = 144 inches

Perimeter = 144 + 60 + 108 + 48

Perimeter = 360 Inches.

Answer

Perimeter = 360 inches

Perimeter = 360 / 12 = 30 feet There are 12 inches in a foot

Perimeter = 360 / 36 = 10 yards. There are 36 inches in a yard

The question does not specify the units. Probably inches would work, but if a computer is marking your answer and you get it wrong, you are going to have to try the other two answers in turn.
