Question

Jason is adding a baseboard trim around the edge of his floor. The room is 14 feet wide and 20 feet long. There is a door opening that is 3 feet wide. How many feet of trim will Jason need

Answer 1

Jason need to trim is 65 feet

Explanation:

We are given

The room is 14 feet wide and 20 feet long

so, length is 20 feet

`L=20`

width is 14 feet

so,
`W=14`

now, we can find perimeter

P=2L+2W

`P=2* 20+2* 14`

`P=68`

There is a door opening that is 3 feet wide

So, Jason need to trim

=68-3 feet

=65 feet
