Answer:
8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
When calculating mixed numbers, I like to make all the numbers to improper fractions with the same denominators first before evaluating.
Perimeter of triangle = 2[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] + 2[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] + 3[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{19}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{19}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{13}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{19}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{19}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{26}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{64}{8}[/tex]
= 8 feet
