Question

Robin has a rectangular picture frame that is 8 1/2 by 11 inches. What is the

approximate perimeter of the picture frame in centimeters?

Answer 1

Answer: 99.06cm

Explanation:

Note that 1 inch = 2.54cm

Therefore, we'll convert the sides of the frame in inches to cm. This will be:

8 1/2 inch = 8.5 × 2.54cm = 21.59cm

11inches = 11 × 2.54cm = 27.94cm

Therefore, the perimeter of a rectangle will be:

= 2(length + width)

= 2(27.94 + 21.59)

= 2(49.53)

= 99.06cm
