Option C
ANSWER:
The perimeter of the given rectangle is 5 feet
SOLUTION:
Given, a rectangle has length of 2 feet and width of 6 inches.
Let the length of rectangle be "l" = 2 feet
Width of the rectangle be "b" = 6 inches
Here, both the dimensions are not in same units, so we need to convert them into same units.
According to the options, let us convert them into feet. Length is already in feet but width is in inches so convert inches into feet
We know that, 1 feet = 12 inches
Hence 1 inch = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] feet
width (b) = 6 inches
width = [tex]6 \times \frac{1}{12}[/tex] = 0.5 feet
Now, length (l) = 2 ft and width (b) = 0.5 ft
So, perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)
= 2(2 + 0.5)
= [tex]2 \times 2.5 = 5 feet[/tex]
Hence, the perimeter of the given rectangle is 5 feet
