Q. The city bus is 45 feet long and 10 feet wide, the maintenance crew wants to paint two yellow strips around the outside of the bus. What will be the total length of the two yellow stripes.
A. Do I divide or multiple?
Multiply and add.
The bus will be painted around its perimeter.
P = 2L + 2W
Mulpiing I got 450 and adding I got 4, di I add all those?
Nevermind thanks!
That dod not hw2whdjh
firs you 2 x 10 and 2 x 45 then you add the answer.
To calculate the total length of the two yellow stripes on the bus, you would need to multiply the perimeter of the bus by 2 since there are two yellow stripes.
To determine the perimeter of the bus, you add up the lengths of all four sides. Since the bus is rectangular in shape, you will have two sides measuring 45 feet long (the length of the bus) and two sides measuring 10 feet long (the width of the bus).
To find the perimeter, you add up the lengths of all four sides:
45 feet + 45 feet + 10 feet + 10 feet = 110 feet
Now, to find the total length of the two yellow stripes, you multiply the perimeter by 2:
110 feet x 2 = 220 feet
So, the total length of the two yellow stripes around the outside of the bus will be 220 feet.
