Answer 1

The perimeter of Chen's office is 46.6 feet.

Explanation:

Since the perimeter P = 2l + 2w where l = length of Chen's office and w = width of Chen's office.

Now, since length of Chen's office = l = 15.5 feet and width of Chen's office = w = 7.8 feet, we substitute these values into the equation for the perimeter.

Substituting these values of length and width, we have

P = 2l + 2w

P = 2(15.5) + 2(7.8)

P = 31 + 15.6

P = 46.6 feet

So, the perimeter of Chen's office is 46.6 feet.
