Question

Answer the question below. The Smiths want to buy a 9 ft. by 12 ft. carpet and center it in a 15 ft. by 20 ft. room. What is the perimeter of the carpet? a0 feet

Answer 1

The perimeter of the carpet is determined by its dimensions so the dimensions of the room are irrelevant to the question.

P=2(x+y) where x and y are the dimensions, here x and y equal 9 and 12 ft so

P=2(9+12)

P=2(21)

P=42 ft

Answer 2

The perimeter of the carpet is 42 ft. to find this answer you just take 9 multiply it 2 since it is a rectangle, and add it to 12times 2. this will give you perimeter. hope I helped you learn!!! brainliest would be much appreciated because I am trying to rank up!!!!
