Answer 1

Sq rt of 280 is 13.4 ft. and the sq rt of 125 is 11.18 ft. This means that the perimeter is 49.16 ft. I just used my calculator to find the sq rt and the perimeter. Possible a table or a wall.

Answer 2

it may be a tv screen

Answer 3

P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(sqrt180) + 2(sqrt125)
P = 2sqrt(2*2*45) + 2sqrt(5*5*5)
