Perimeter and Area

First, let’s convert all the measurements to feet. There are 12 inches in a foot, so 2 inches equals $\genfrac{}{}{1px}{}{2}{\mathrm{12}}$ = $\genfrac{}{}{1px}{}{1}{6}$ feet, and 4 inches equals $\genfrac{}{}{1px}{}{4}{\mathrm{12}}$ = $\genfrac{}{}{1px}{}{1}{3}$ feet.

Hence, 3 feet 2 inches equals 3$\genfrac{}{}{1px}{}{1}{6}$ feet, and 2 feet 4 inches equals 2$\genfrac{}{}{1px}{}{1}{3}$ feet.

Now, the area of a rectangle is length × width. Hence, Area = 3$\genfrac{}{}{1px}{}{1}{6}$ × 2$\genfrac{}{}{1px}{}{1}{3}$ = $\genfrac{}{}{1px}{}{19}{6}$ × $\genfrac{}{}{1px}{}{7}{3}$ = $\genfrac{}{}{1px}{}{133}{\mathrm{18}}$ = 7$\genfrac{}{}{1px}{}{7}{\mathrm{18}}$

The answer is (E).
