Question

The Johnsons framed a family picture to hang on the wall. The perimeter of the frame is 72 inches. Use the formula p= 2l ÷ 2w to find the length of the frame if the width is 14 inches

Answer 1

Perimeter of the frame = 72 inches
length of the frame = ?
width of the frame = 14 inches
formula to use is
p = 2l ÷ 2w
now put the values of width and perimeter
72 = 2l ÷ 2(14)
72 = 2l ÷ 28
72 x 28 = 2l
2016 = 2l
l = 2016/ 2
l = 1008 inches
length of the frame is 1008 inches
