Solution
The correct option is C inches The perimeter of a shape is defined as the total distance around the shape. So, the units of the perimeter will be the same as the units of length.
Hence, the perimeter can be measured in meters and inches, as they are also units of length. Whereas the square meter is the unit of area and the pound is the unit of mass.
