c. How much base board would Mike need to purchase to go around the perimeter of the dining room? SHOW YOUR WORK

Answer 1

a:

to find area we need to multiply width by length

so lets multiply 8×6

so we will get 48 feet

b:

the area is 48 feet, and we know that it costs 10$ per

square foot

so we will multiply 48×10

so we will get 480$

c:

the premiter = all sides added to gather

in a rectangle we have 4 sides, 2 width and 2 length

so the answer will be (8×2)+(6×2)

so the answer will be 16+12=30
