Tina does not have enough rope to decorate the frame
Step-by-step explanation:
Tina wants to decorate a rectangular picture frame
- The width of the frame is 18 inches
- The length of the frame is 14 inches
- She has 4 feet rope
We want to know if she has enough rope or not to decorate the frame
∵ The frame is in the shape of the rectangle
- The length of the rope must be equal the perimeter of the frame
∵ The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 length + 2 width
∵ The length = 14 inches
∵ The width = 18 inches
∴ The perimeter of the frame = 2(14) + 2(18) = 28 + 36 = 64 inches
∵ The length of the rope is 4 feet
∵ 1 foot = 12 inches
∴ The length of the rope = 4 × 12 = 48 inches
∵ 48 < 64
∴ The length of the rope is less than the perimeter of the frame
∴ Tina does not have enough rope
Tina does not have enough rope to decorate the frame
