Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:D. 30 2/3Step-by-step explanation:What you want to do is convert everything for feet, ill explain why later. 1 yard is 3 feet long. SO 9 x 3 = 27. 27 + 2 = 29 feet. The patio is 29 feet long.5 x 3 = 15. 15 + 2 = 17 feet. So the patio is 29 x 17. To find the perimeter, you want to do: 29 + 29 + 17 + 17 = 92 feet. Convert it back to yards by doing 92/3. That equals 30.6667. In other words, 30 2/3. The answer is D. Hope this helps!
