Three picture frames are on a dresser.two are shaped like squares and the other is a trapazoid. how many sides are there in the frames altogether? Please help today
How many sides in a square? How many sides in a trapezoid?

To find the total number of sides in the three picture frames, we need to count the number of sides on each individual frame and then add them together.
Let's start by counting the sides of each shape:
- The two square frames have 4 sides each because a square is a four-sided polygon.
- The trapezoid frame has 4 sides as well because a trapezoid is also a four-sided polygon.
Now, we can calculate the total number of sides by adding the number of sides for each frame:
2 (sides of the first square frame) + 2 (sides of the second square frame) + 4 (sides of the trapezoid frame) = 8 sides in total.
Therefore, there are 8 sides in the three picture frames altogether.
