Answer 1

Answer:

42 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1) remeber how 1 foot=12 inches

                         we need to find "x" feet for 144 inches

so

$\frac{1}{12}=\frac{x}{144}$

2) cross multiply

144=12x

divide both sides by 12

12=x

so 144 inches is 12 feet, we need to do the exact same thing for the width

$\frac{1}{12} =\frac{x}{108}$

108=12x

9=x

the length is 12 feet and width is 9 feet

to find perimeter:

2(l)+2(w)

2*12+2*9

24+18=42

Hope this helps!
