A picture frame measure 5 inches wide and 7 inches long . What is the perimeter of the frame ? (16-3)
P = 2L + 2W
P = (2 * 5) + (2 * 7)
P = 10 + 14
P = ?
24
To find the perimeter of the frame, we need to add up all the sides.
Let's start by finding the length of the frame. Given that the frame measures 5 inches wide and 7 inches long, we can see that the length is 7 inches.
Next, let's find the width of the frame. Since the width is given as 5 inches, we have the width.
To calculate the perimeter, we need to add up all the sides.
Since a rectangle has two equal length sides and two equal width sides, we can calculate the perimeter using the formula: P = 2 * (length + width)
P = 2 * (7 + 5)
P = 2 * (12)
P = 24
So, the perimeter of the frame is 24 inches.
To find the perimeter of a picture frame, we need to add up the lengths of all four sides. In this case, we are given that the picture frame is 5 inches wide and 7 inches long.
The width of the frame is 5 inches, so there are two sides that measure 5 inches each.
The length of the frame is 7 inches, so there are also two sides that measure 7 inches each.
To find the perimeter, we simply add up the lengths of all four sides:
Perimeter = 5 + 5 + 7 + 7
Now, let's calculate:
Perimeter = 10 + 14
Perimeter = 24
Therefore, the perimeter of the picture frame is 24 inches.
