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 will need 65 feet of trim

Explanation:

Length of the floor = 20 feet

Width of the floor = 14 feet

Width of the door = 3 feet

Length of the trim Jason will need to add = Perimeter of the floor - door width

= 2(length + width) - 3

= 2(20+14) - 3

= 2(34) - 3

= 68 - 3

= 65 feet
