The wood framing for an art canvas costs $4.84 per foot. How much would the wood framing cost for a rectangle picture that measures 4 ft by 6 ft?
2(4+6) * $4.84
Thank you! I realized i had to use the formula for P=2L+2W and then times it by $4.84
To calculate the total cost of the wood framing for a rectangle picture, we need to find the perimeter of the rectangle (sum of all sides) and multiply it by the cost per foot.
The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is:
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
Given that the length of the rectangle is 4 ft and the width is 6 ft, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Perimeter = 2 * (4 + 6)
Perimeter = 2 * 10
Perimeter = 20 ft
Now, multiply the perimeter by the cost per foot of the wood framing:
Total Cost = Perimeter * Cost per foot
Total Cost = 20 ft * $4.84/ft
Calculating the total cost:
Total Cost = 20 * $4.84
Total Cost = $96.80
Therefore, the wood framing for a rectangle picture that measures 4 ft by 6 ft would cost $96.80.
To calculate the cost of the wood framing for a rectangle picture measuring 4 ft by 6 ft, you need to determine the perimeter of the rectangle, as the cost is given per foot.
To find the perimeter, you add up the lengths of all four sides. For a rectangle, opposite sides have the same length.
In this case, the lengths of the sides are 4 ft and 6 ft. So, the perimeter is calculated as follows:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width) = 2 * (4 ft + 6 ft)
Perimeter = 2 * 10 ft = 20 ft
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 20 ft.
Now that we know the perimeter, we can calculate the total cost of the wood framing by multiplying the cost per foot by the perimeter:
Total cost = Cost per foot * Perimeter
Total cost = $4.84/ft * 20 ft
Total cost = $96.80
Hence, the wood framing for the rectangle picture measuring 4 ft by 6 ft would cost $96.80.
