This section done was based on misreading part of the descrption:
Length is unknown, x.
cross%2812%2Ax=324%29
cross%28x=324%2F12%29
cross%28x=27%29
Perimeter is cross%282%2827%2B12%29%29=39%2A2=highlight%2878%29


THIS part is good:
Do everything in one unit or the other. Here, FEET is chosen.
x is the unknown length;
width is 1 foot.
1%2Ax=324
x=324 FEET length.
Perimeter is highlight%282%281%2B324%29=2%2A325=highlight%28650%29%29 feet.
