The bus is 55 feet long and 12 feet wide the maintenance crew wants to paint 3 pink stripes around the outside of the bus what will be the total length of the three pink stripes?
The perimeter of the bus is the distance around it.
P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(55) + 2(12)
P = 110 + 24
P = 134 feet for one stripe
Multiply 124 by 3 to find the total length of the three stripes.
