Answer:

152 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2*48 + 2*28

= 96 + 56

152 inches.

Answer:

152 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The dimensions of tha coffee table are [tex]48in \times 28in[/tex].
  • The perimeter of a rectangle is defined as [tex]P=2(l+w)[/tex], where [tex]l[/tex] is the length and [tex]w[/tex] is the width.

So, by given we have

[tex]w=48in\\l=28in[/tex]

If we use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle and substitute each variable, then we would have

[tex]P=2(w+l)\\P=2(48in + 28in)\\P=152 in[/tex]

The perimeter of the coffee table is 152 inches.

Therefore, the right answer is the second option, 152 in.
