The Smiths want to buy a 9 ft. by 12 ft. carpet and center it in a 15 ft. by 20 ft. room.
What is the perimeter of the carpet?____feet
To find the perimeter of the carpet, we need to determine the total length of the sides of the carpet.
Since the carpet is 9 ft. by 12 ft., the length of two opposite sides will be 9 ft. each, and the length of the other two opposite sides will be 12 ft. each.
So, the perimeter of the carpet can be calculated by adding up the lengths of all four sides:
Perimeter = 9 ft. + 9 ft. + 12 ft. + 12 ft.
Adding these values together, we get:
Perimeter = 42 ft.
Therefore, the perimeter of the carpet is 42 feet.
To find the perimeter of the carpet, we need to add up all four sides of the rectangle.
The length of the carpet is given as 9 ft, and the width is given as 12 ft.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
So, the perimeter of the carpet would be:
Perimeter = 2 * (9 ft + 12 ft)
Calculating this:
Perimeter = 2 * (21 ft)
Perimeter = 42 ft
Therefore, the perimeter of the carpet is 42 feet.
P = 2L + 2W
Room size is irrelevant.
