Question 1059957: Hi
a rectangular room 3.5m by 4.8m.it has a door 80cm wide and a window 1.3m wide. A wallpaper frieze runs around the room just under the cornice, so it goes over the door and window. It is repeated at eye level, and so is broken for the door and window at this height. Find the total length of frieze used in the room.
The solution in the textbook solution doesn't provide a diagram in order to understand the problem.
thanks

The perimeter(P) of the room is
:
P = (2 * 3.5) + (2 * 4.8) = 16.6m
:
****************************************************************
Length of wallpaper frieze = 16.6 + (16.6 - (0.8 + 1.3)) = 31.1m
