I've been trying to get an answer for this all day and don't know where to begin what is the answer like I have no clue

Shtirlitz [24]

so, we have two 54x18 rectangles, so their perimeter is simply all those units added together, 54+54+54+54+18+18+18+18 = 288.

we know the circle's diameter is 1.5 times the width, well, the width is 18, so the diameter of the circle must be 1.5*18 = 27.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{circumference of a circle}}{C=d\pi }~~ \begin{cases} d=diameter\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ d=27 \end{cases}\implies C=27\pi \implies C=\stackrel{\pi =3.14}{84.78} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{perimeter of the rectangles}}{288}~~~~+~~~~\stackrel{\textit{perimeter of the circle}}{84.78}~~~~=~~~~372.78$
