Find the perimeter of a sheet of typing paper 8 1/2 in wide and 11 inches long
To find the perimeter of the sheet of typing paper, we need to find the sum of all four sides.
The width of the paper is 8 1/2 inches, which we can write as 8.5 inches.
The length of the paper is 11 inches.
The perimeter can be calculated as follows:
Perimeter = 2 × (width + length)
= 2 × (8.5 + 11)
= 2 × (19.5)
= 39 inches
Therefore, the perimeter of the sheet of typing paper is 39 inches.
