A community center is Decorating their bulletin board and wants to put a border around the edges the dimensions of the rectangular bulletin board or 48 x 60 how many inches of border material are needed
To find out how many inches of border material are needed, we first need to calculate the perimeter of the bulletin board.
The perimeter of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Given that the dimensions of the bulletin board are 48 inches by 60 inches, we can plug these values into the formula:
Perimeter = 2(48 + 60)
Perimeter = 2(108)
Perimeter = 216 inches
Since the border will go around all four edges of the bulletin board, you will need 216 inches of border material.
