hi, welcome to QuestionCove !!

So, we have a rectangle so we have 2 pairs of equal sides.  so since the 200 is already in feet, we'll start there. Since there are 2 equal sides, we do 200(2) and get 400.

now the 180 is in yards so we need to convert it to feet. There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so you do 180(3) =540. Since we have 2 equal sides we will multiply our 540 by 2. so 540(2)=1080.

then you need to add your two sums together.

so, 1080+400= ?
