47 ft
57 ft
a. 151 feet
b. 208 feet
c. 161 feet
d. 104 feet

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the perimeter formula for a rectangle

The formula for the perimeter \( P \) of a rectangle is \( P = 2\times (length + width) \). Here, the length is \( 57 \) ft and the width is \( 47 \) ft.

Step2: Substitute the values into the formula

First, calculate the sum of length and width: \( 57 + 47 = 104 \) ft. Then, multiply by 2: \( P = 2\times104 = 208 \) ft.

Answer:

b. 208 feet
