A rectangular floor measures 7 yards 2 feet wide and 12 yards 1 foot long: convert it in feet

W=7+yd+%2B2ft=21ft%2B2ft=23ft
L=12yd+%2B1ft=36ft%2B1ft=37ft

a... Find the perimeter of the cellar in feet
the perimeter P=2%28W%2BL%29
P=2%2823ft%2B37ft%29
P=2%2860ft%29
P=120ft
b...If the perimeter(edge) of the cellar floor needs to be sealed
with waterproof sealer that costs $1.75 per foot, how
much will it cost to seal the perimeter?
$120ft%2A1.75=210
