Answer:

C

Explanation:

there is the ground line of about -5.5 to +5.5 = 11 ft.

then the 2 walls of 7 ft height = 14 ft.

that is already 25 ft.

the 2 roof sides are both a little bit longer than the corresponding ground line of 5.5ft.

so, estimated about 6ft per roof side. that adds 12 ft.

so, we are at about 37 ft.

and the closest answer is C. 36 ft.

in actual numbers a roof side is (using Pythagoras) :

roof side² = 2.5² + 5.5² = 6.25 + 30.25 = 36.5

roof side = 6.041522987... ft

so, the actual perimeter is

25 + 2×6.041522987... = 37.08304597... ft
