Question

The perimeter of a rectangular field that measures 2 feet by 18 inches is _________ ft.

Answer 1

P= 2L + 2W
P= (2+2ft) + (18+18in)
P= 4ft + 36in

12in = 1 ft
36in = 3ft

4ft + 3ft = 7ft

Answer 2

Answer:

7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2 (l) + 2(w). With that being said, we can look at the question.

The answer should be given in terms of feet, so we will have to convert 18 inches to ft. In order to convert from inches to ft, you will have to divide by 12.

18 / 12 = 1.5ft

18 inches = 1.5 foot

Now we take the given values and put them into the formula to find the perimeter of the rectangular field.

2 (l) + 2(w) = 2 (2 ) + 2 (1.5) = 7ft

The perimeter of the rectangular field is 7ft.
