turingtest · Answer

P=2(l+w)
l=180
w=125
plug in then the numbers

anonymous · Answer

Part 1: 
√180 = √(36*5) = √36 * √5 = 6√5
√125 = √(25*5) = √25 * √5 = 5√5
perimeter of a rectangular object = 2*√180 + 2*√125 = 2*6√5 + 2*5√5 = 12√5 + 10√5 = 22√5.

anonymous · Answer

Part 2: final solution in simplified radical form = 22√5

Part 3: 
√180 is about 13.4 feet 
√125 is about 11.2 feet
