The area of a rectangular floor equals :
Area = Length * width
width = Area/Length = 15/5 = 3 feet

The perimeter of a rectangular floor equals :
2 * (Length + width) = 2*(5+3) = 16 feet

We will see that the perimeter of the rectangle is equal to 16 feet.

How to get the perimeter?

For a rectangle of length L and width W, the area is:

A = L*W

And the perimeter is:

P = 2*(L + W).

In this case, we know that the length is 5ft and the area is 15 ft^2, replacing that in the area equation we get:

15ft^2 = 5ft*W

15ft^2/5ft = W = 3ft

Now we know the width, replacing that in the perimeter equation we get:

P = 2*(5ft + 3ft) = 16ft

The perimeter of the dog house is 16ft.
