Question

A rectangular portrait is 5 feet wide and 6 feet high. It costs $4.00 per foot to put a gold frame around the portrait. How much will the frame cost?

Answer 1

The frame would cost $88

Explanation:

The problem is asking for the perimeter basically. The formula to find the perimeter is P = 2l + 2w. So plug in 5 where there is a 'w' and plug in 6 where there is a 'l'.

22= 10+12

Now that you have the perimeter, you'll have to find the cost of the frame. Just multiply 22 by the 4 dollars to get your answer.
