hi! i need help finding the perimeter and area of the following problem

2 rectangles
smallest rectangle is in the larger rectangle
the smallest rectangle is 30sq ft
the smallest rectangle is positioned in the largest rectangle with 1ft spaces left and right of the smallest rectangle and 2ft up and down

thank you!!

I 2 ft I
I 1ft I(30ft)I 1ft I
I 2ft I
 
first off, you cant find the area or perimeter of "a problem", and secondly, if it is extra credit, i think it would be more fruitful and/or honest to do it yourself, thirdly, there is not enough info to find the perimeter, since all you are given in actual measurements is the area, for example, the sides of the smaller could be 6 and 5, 1 and 30, 2 and 15, etc... and they would all correspond to different size larger rectangles

Code:
I          2 ft            I
I 1ft   I(30ft)I    1ft I
I          2ft             I

This CANNOT be the exact problem statement. If you need help - you need to post correct problem statement.
