If a rectangle measures 15 inches by 1 3/4 feet, what is the perimeter in yards? What is the area in square feet? Rounded to the nearest tenth

For this case the first thing that we must take into account is the following conversion of units:

1 yard = 36 inches

1 foot = 12 inches

1 yard = 3 feet

We have then:

The perimeter is:

P = 2 * (15 * (1/36)) + 2 * ((1 3/4) * (1/3))

P = 2 yards

The area is:

A = (15 * (1/12)) * (1 3/4)

A = 2.1875 feet ^ 2

Answer:

the perimeter in yards is:

P = 2 yards

The area in square feet is:

A = 2.2 feet ^ 2
