james has a metal fame with an 8.32 inch perimeter. if the sides are .04 inches thick, what is the perimeter of the inside of the frame
4 * 0.04 = 0.16
8.32 - 0.16 = ?
To find the perimeter of the inside of the frame, we need to subtract the thickness of the sides from the perimeter of the outside frame.
Given that the perimeter of the outside frame is 8.32 inches and the sides are 0.04 inches thick, we can subtract the thickness from the perimeter:
Perimeter of the inside frame = Perimeter of the outside frame - 2 × Thickness of the sides
Since there are four sides in total, we multiply the thickness by 2 to account for both sides of each edge.
Therefore, the perimeter of the inside of the frame is:
Perimeter of the inside frame = 8.32 inches - 2 × 0.04 inches
Perimeter of the inside frame = 8.32 inches - 0.08 inches
Perimeter of the inside frame = 8.24 inches
So, the perimeter of the inside of the frame is 8.24 inches.
