\[\boxed{\text{5.42}\text{3}\text{.}}\]
\[1)\ \frac{9}{20} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{9}{20} - \frac{4}{20} = \frac{5}{20}\ (м) -\]
\[соседняя\ сторона\ \]
\[прямоугольника.\ \]
\[2)\ \frac{9}{20} + \frac{9}{20} + \frac{5}{20} + \frac{5}{20} =\]
\[= \frac{18}{20} + \frac{10}{20} = \frac{9}{10} + \frac{5}{10} = \frac{14}{10} =\]
\[= 1\frac{4}{10} = 1\frac{2}{5}\ (м) - периметр\ \]
\[прямоугольника.\ \]
\[Ответ:\ 1\frac{2}{5}\ м.\ \ \]
