Question

A rectangular family room is 18 feet long and 14 feet wide.

Answer 1

Answer:

4 pieces of chair rail are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the perimeter of the room

Perimeter of rectangle = 2L + 2B

Length = 18

Breadth = 14

Perimeter of room = 2(18) + 2(14)

Perimeter of room = 64 feet

Step 2: Calculate the pieces of chair rail needed

Perimeter of room = 64 feet

Length of each chair rail = 16 feet

Total chair rails needed = Perimeter of room/length of each chair rail

Total chair rails needed = 64/16

Total chair rails needed = 4

Therefore, Mr. Herzog needs 4 pieces of chair rails.
