Question

A bedroom has the shape shown. The homeowner is upgrading by putting in new crown molding. How many feet of crown molding does she need?

Answer 1

The homeowner needs 48 feet of crown molding.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many feet of crown molding she needs, the homeowner needs to find the perimeter of the room. The room has four sides, each measuring 12 feet, so the perimeter is 4 * 12 = 48 feet. Therefore, the homeowner needs 48 feet of crown molding.

Answer 2

Answer: D.

Step-by-step explanation: Add all of the sides' lengths together. The rest of the wall beneath where "5 ft." is measures as 6 ft. Add that to the 5 ft of the rest of the wall and you'll have 11 for the whole right wall. Add 11 to 8, 10 and 12, and you'll have 41 which is close to the last choice so you're safest bet is D.
