Q. A rectangular portrait is 4 feet wide and 7 feet high. It costs $7.87 per foot to put a gold frame around the portrait. How much will the frame cost?$_____
Calculate Perimeter: Calculate the perimeter of the portrait to find out the total length of the frame needed.The formula for the perimeter P of a rectangle is P=2×(width+height).Width w = 4 feetHeight h = 7 feetP=2×(4+7)
Calculate Perimeter Result: Perform the calculation for the perimeter.P=2×(4+7)=2×11=22 feet
Calculate Total Cost: Calculate the total cost of the frame by multiplying the perimeter by the cost per foot.Cost per foot c = $7.87Total cost T = Perimeter × Cost per footT=22×$7.87
Calculate Total Cost Result: Perform the calculation for the total cost.T=22×$(7.87)=$(173.14)
