Question

You want to build a deck in your back yard. The deck will be 14 feet long and 12 feet wide. If you will put railing along all four sides of the deck, how many feet of railing are needed?A) 26 feetB) 38 feetC) 52 feetD) 104 feet

Answer 1

C) 52 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the deck will be 14 feet by 12 feet and it has four sides, we can deduce that it's a rectangle.

Therefore all you need to do is sum up all the sides together

14 + 14 + 12 + 12 => 14 * 2 + 12 * 2 = 52 feet
