The distance around the rectangle is #11 1/3# feet

Explanation:

Please see the figure below. The distance around the rectangle of length #l# and width #w# is obviously #l+w+l+w=2xx(l+w)#. This is called perimeter .

Here length is #3 1/3# feet and width is #2 1/3# and hence distance around the rectangle is

#2xx(3 1/3+2 1/3)=2xx(10/3+7/3)#

= #2xx17/3#

= #34/3#

= #11 1/3# feet
