    What is the perimeter of a swimming pool that is 97 feet in length and 17 feet wide?

    • 211 sq ft

    • 1,649 ft.

    • 228 ft

    • 114 ft

    Correct Answer
    A. 228 ft
    Explanation
    The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. In this case, the swimming pool has a length of 97 feet and a width of 17 feet. To find the perimeter, we add twice the length and twice the width: 2(97) + 2(17) = 194 + 34 = 228 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 228 ft.

    The perimeter of a triangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. In this case, the lengths of the sides are 3 cm, 1.6 cm, and 2.2 cm. Adding these lengths together gives a total of 6.8 cm, which is the perimeter of Jonathan's new invention.
