With steps please

Choices
A. 34
B. 40.8
C. 51
D. 68
E. 81.6

Answer 1

Your answer is A) 34.
A rectangle has four sides as you know.
If you use 34 as your width, both sides for width would total 68.
Then, same steps as before, accounting for both length sides by multiplying 68 by 2 and get you’d get 136.
68 (both width sides) + 136 (both length sides) would get your total of 204.
