how many feet of wood is needed to build a rectangular frame 10 inches by 11 inches
what is the perimeter of a 10x11 rectangle?
To calculate the number of feet of wood needed to build a rectangular frame, you will need to convert the dimensions from inches to feet.
First, you need to convert 10 inches to feet. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, you divide 10 by 12:
10 in ÷ 12 = 0.83 ft
So, the length of the frame is approximately 0.83 feet.
Next, you need to convert 11 inches to feet using the same process:
11 in ÷ 12 = 0.92 ft
Therefore, the width of the frame is approximately 0.92 feet.
To find the total feet of wood needed for the frame, you can calculate the perimeter of the rectangle using the formula:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Plugging in the values:
Perimeter = 2(0.83 ft + 0.92 ft)
Perimeter = 2(1.75 ft)
Perimeter = 3.5 ft
So, you would need approximately 3.5 feet of wood to build the rectangular frame.
