Answer 2

The correct answer is:  [A]:  " 46 feet " .
__________________________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________________
The formula (equation) for the perimeter of a rectangle is:

 P = 2L + 2w ; 

in which:

P = perimeter ; (for which we wish to solve) ; 

L = length = 15 feet (given); 

w = 8 feet (given) ;

To find the perimeter, "P" :  Plug in the given values for the Length, "L" ; and                                                    the width, "w" ;
__________________________________________________________
  P = 2L + 2w ;

  P = 2(15 ft) + 2(8 ft) ;

  P =  30 ft  + 16 ft  ; 

  P =  46 ft ;   which is:  Answer choice:  [A]  "46 feet" .
