Question 1034045: Each page of a book measures 12 inches by 8 inches. The cover extends beyond the shorter side one half inch in both directions. What is the permeter of the book's cover in inches?. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the cover extends beyond the short side by 1/2" on each side, it must be 13" x 8".
Perimeter P = 2L + 2W = 2(13) + 2(8) = 26 + 16 = 42 inches
