Two sides of a rectangular fence are 5 5 / 8 feet long. the other two sides are 6 1/4 feet long. what is the perimeter

Because a rectangle has four sides and the opposite sides are the same length, you can simply multiply each of the given sides (5 5/8 feet and 6 1/4 feet) by 2, and then add them together.

5 5/8 * 2 = 11 1/4.

6 1/4 * 2 = 12 1/2

11 1/4 + 12 1/2 = 23 3/4 or 23.75

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 23.75 feet.
