you have a paper with 4 sides.
two sides are 11 inches.
the margin on either end of that 11 inches is 1.25 inches.
so you need to subtract 1.25 twice from 11 inches
11 – (2*1.25) = B
that will be the length of the longer side.
same for the other side
8 – (2*1.25) = A
since there’s two As and two Bs
Perimeter = A + A + B + B

Subtract the total margin from the length and from the width (the total margin is 1/14 x 2).
So 11 – (1 1/4 x 2) is the length.
And 8 1/2 – (1 1/4 x 2) is the width.
That leaves you with the printed area measurements.
The perimeter is the measurement of all 4 sides added together (length + length + width + width).
