Answer 1

$240

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ find the cost of molding.

Formula we use,

→ P = 2 × (l + w)

Now the perimeter will be,

→ 2 × (l + w)

→ 2 × (15 + 15)

→ 2 × 30

→ 60 feet

Then the required cost is,

→ P × $4

→ 60 × 4

→ $240

Hence, molding costs $240.

Answer 2

• The cost of the molding will be $240

-----------------------------------

Find the perimeter of the room:

• P = 2(l + w)
• P = 2(15 + 15) = 2(30) = 60 ft

Find the cost of the molding:

• 60 × 4 = 240
