The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
P=2(l+w)

Substitute with the given measurements
P=2(26 ft+17 ft)
P=2(43 ft)
P=86 ft

Hope this helps =)

Remember that the perimeter is equal to the distance around a figure, so for a rectangle the perimeter is equal to:
[tex]Perimeter=2l+2w=2(l+w)[/tex]

We plug in the values:
[tex]Perimeter=2(26+17)=2(43)=86ft[/tex]
