Answer:The perimeter of the rectangle is [tex]\frac{47}{3} inch[/tex] or 15.66 inch.
Explanation:
Length of strip (I) = [tex]2\frac{1}{2} inch=\frac{5}{2}inch[/tex]
Length of strip (II) = [tex]5\frac{1}{3} inch=\frac{16}{3} inch[/tex]
According to question two strips of length [tex]1 inch[/tex] and two strips of lenght [tex]\frac{5}{3} inch[/tex] is used in making rectangle:
Perimeter of rectangle = Sum of all sides of rectangle
Perimeter of rectangle =[tex]\frac{5}{2} inch+\frac{5}{2} inch +\frac{16}{3} inch+\frac{16}{3} inch=\frac{47}{3} inch[/tex]
The perimeter of the rectangle is [tex]\frac{47}{3} inch[/tex] or 15.66 inch.
