How long is the piece of wood needed to frame a picture which measures
25 cm by 36 cm and the width of the wood is 3 cm?
:
A 3 cm wide frame will add 6 cm to each dimension
31 by 42 cm will be the dimensions which include the frame
:
Total amt of wood will be the perimeter
p = 2(31)+2(42)
p = 146 cm for 3 cm wide frame
