Suzanne is making a frame for an 8-inch by 10-inch photo. How much wood does she need for the frame?
36 inches. It’s asking for perimeter?
8 + 8 + 10 + 10 = ______ inches
Yes. A picture frame is a perimeter, going around the picture.
Thank you Ms Sue.
You're welcome.
To determine how much wood Suzanne needs for the frame, we need to calculate the total length of all four sides of the frame.
The frame for an 8-inch by 10-inch photo consists of four sides - two long sides and two short sides.
The length of the long sides will be equal to the width of the photo, which is 8 inches. So the total length of the long sides is 8 inches * 2 sides = 16 inches.
The length of the short sides will be equal to the height of the photo, which is 10 inches. So the total length of the short sides is 10 inches * 2 sides = 20 inches.
To find the total length of wood needed for the frame, add the lengths of all four sides together: 16 inches + 20 inches = 36 inches.
Therefore, Suzanne needs 36 inches of wood for the frame.
