The perimeter of each rectangular room consists of \(2(l+w)\)

Out of each \(2(l+w)\), \((l+w)\) is part of the larger rectangle.

Therefore to find the perimeter of the larger triangle, we need to divide each smaller rectangle perimeter by 2 and add them up:

\(60 + 140 + 100 + 80 = \frac{380 }{ 2} = 190\)

Answer is D.

FOR SUCH QUESTION, SEE HOW MANY TIMES IS THE PERIMETER INCLUDED IN THE GIVEN THE FIGURE.

HERE IF YOU SEE CLEARLY, YOU WILL FIND THAT 1/2 OF EACH ROOM'S PERIMETER GIVES A PART OF PERIMETER ASKED FOR.

HENCE, YOU WILL:
1/2 THE PERIMETER OF THE 1ST ROOM +
1/2 PERIMIEERT OF THE 2ND ROOM +
1/2 PERIMETER OF 3RD ROOM +
1/2 PERIMETER OF THE 4TH ROOM TO GET THE FINAL PERIMETER OF THE FLOOR.
