Answer 1

The perimeter of the shape is
`398 (1)/(8) ft`

Explanation:

The perimeter of any plane shape can be obtained by adding up the dimensions of all the sides.

Regardless fo the kind of plane shape that is given, once the length of all the sides of the shape is given, the perimeter is obtained by adding them all up.

For this shape, this is illustrated below:

The Perimeter of shape = 115.5ft + 66.25ft + 106.125 + 110.25 = 398.125ft

This is the same as
`398 (1)/(8) ft`.
