Question

A carpenter is framing a window with wood trim where the length of the window is 6 2/3 feet. If the width of the window is 7 3/4 feet, how many feet of the wood is needed to frame the window?

Answer 1

we know that

shape of window is rectangular

We are given

length of window is

`l=6(2)/(3) =(20)/(3)`

width of window is

`w=7(3)/(4) =(31)/(4)`

For finding amount of wood , we have to find perimeter

`perimeter=2(l+w)`

`perimeter=2((20)/(3)+(31)/(4))`

`perimeter=(173)/(6)`

so, the amount of wood is

`=(173)/(6)feet`............Answer
