The area of a room is 56 sq ft the width of the room is 7 ft if Alicia is going to put an animal wall border on all four walls of the room how many feet of border does she need
To find the perimeter of the room, you need to add up all the four sides. Since the width of the room is 7 ft, both opposite sides will have the same length.
To determine the length of the sides, divide the area of the room by the width:
Length = Area / Width
Length = 56 sq ft / 7 ft
Length = 8 ft
Now, the perimeter of the room is:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2 * (8 ft + 7 ft)
Perimeter = 2 * 15 ft
Perimeter = 30 ft
Since Alicia will put the animal wall border on all four walls, she will need a total of 30 ft of border.
