Question 171000: Hello
My name is Deborah. I was wondering if you can help me solve this problem.
A rectangular room is 14ft by 12ft. A carpenter plans to instll molding along the top of each wall. What is the perimeter of the room in feet?
This is my answer. 52
14x14=28
12x12=24
28+24=52ft
Thank you in advance.
