Question 756496: A metal strip is being installed around a workbench that is 8 feet long and 3 feet wide. Find how much stripping is needed

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The perimeter is the distance round an
object. The workbench is a rectangle, so
perimeter = 2 * length + 2 * width
= 2 * 8ft + 2 * 3ft
= 16ft + 6ft
= 22 feet of stripping required.
Hope this helps.
