(1 point)
○ 371.56
○ 361.65
○ 361.56
○ 362.56

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the perimeter formula for a rectangle

The perimeter \( P \) of a rectangle is given by \( P = 2\times (l + w) \), where \( l \) is the length and \( w \) is the width.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Here, \( l = 105.55 \) meters and \( w = 75.23 \) meters. First, calculate \( l + w \): \( 105.55 + 75.23 = 180.78 \) meters.

Step3: Calculate the perimeter

Now, multiply by 2: \( P = 2\times180.78 = 361.56 \) meters.

Answer:

361.56
