Answer:
<em>The perimeter of the bedroom floor is 44 ft</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The Perimeter of a Rectangle</u>
Given a rectangle of width W and length L, the perimeter is the sum of all four sides:
P = 2W + 2L
We know a rug of dimensions 6 ft x 10 ft is located at the center of a bedroom floor and there are 1.5 ft exposed on all four sides of the bedroom.
Adding this length to each side, we have the dimensions of the bedroom as:
6 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 9 ft
10 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 13 ft
Thus, the perimeter of the bedroom floor is:
P = 2*9 + 2*13 = 44 ft
The perimeter of the bedroom floor is 44 ft
