For this case the first thing that we must take into account is the following conversion of units: 1 yard = 36 inches 1 foot = 12 inches 1 yard = 3 feet We have then: The perimeter is: P = 2 * (15 * (1/36)) + 2 * ((1 3/4) * (1/3)) P = 2 yards The area is: A = (15 * (1/12)) * (1 3/4) A = 2.1875 feet ^ 2 Answer: the perimeter in yards is: P = 2 yards The area in square feet is: A = 2.2 feet ^ 2
