ft

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the perimeter formula for a parallelogram

The perimeter \( P \) of a parallelogram is given by \( P = 2(a + b) \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are the lengths of the adjacent sides.

Step2: Identify the values of \( a \) and \( b \)

Here, \( a = 14.9 \) ft and \( b = 14 \) ft.

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula

First, calculate \( a + b \): \( 14.9 + 14 = 28.9 \) ft.
Then, multiply by 2: \( P = 2 \times 28.9 = 57.8 \) ft.

Answer:

\( 57.8 \)
