A rectangular picture frame measures 46 cm by 35 cm. What is the perimeter or distance around the picture frame in meters?
m
(46 + 35 + 46 + 35) / 100
P = 2L + 2W
P = (2 * 46) + (2 * 35)
P = _______ cm
Divide the number of centimeters by 100 to find the number of meters.
To find the perimeter or distance around the picture frame, we need to add up the lengths of all four sides of the frame.
For a rectangular frame, the perimeter is given by the formula P = 2(l + w), where P represents the perimeter, l represents the length, and w represents the width.
In this case, the length of the frame is 46 cm and the width is 35 cm.
Substituting the values into the formula, we have:
P = 2(46 cm + 35 cm)
Now, let's calculate the perimeter:
P = 2(81 cm)
P = 162 cm
To convert this value to meters, we need to divide it by 100 since there are 100 centimeters in a meter:
P = 162 cm ÷ 100
P = 1.62 m
Therefore, the perimeter or distance around the picture frame is 1.62 meters.
