Answer by addingup(3677)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! did you draw a rectangle? How many long sides and how many short sides? And your problem says that the long sides are how long? Add up the long sides.
Now look at the short sides, usually called the widths, how long does the problem say they are and how many are there? Add them up, and add sum with sum of the long sides. This is called the PERIMETER, the perimeter is the length of the edges of the rectangle. Multiply the perimeter times 1.75 to get your answer.
