Ashley has a picture that is 11 inches tall and 8 inches wide. How much wood trim does she need to frame the perimeter of the picture?
P = 2L + 2W
To calculate the amount of wood trim Ashley needs to frame the perimeter of the picture, we need to find the total length of all four sides of the picture.
The picture is 11 inches tall and 8 inches wide. Since there are two sides of 11 inches and two sides of 8 inches, we can calculate the perimeter as follows:
Perimeter = 2 * (Height + Width)
= 2 * (11 inches + 8 inches)
= 2 * 19 inches
= 38 inches
So, Ashley needs 38 inches of wood trim to frame the perimeter of the picture.
