Question

a carpet is laid on the floor of a room by 8m by 5m leaving a border 0.5 wide all around it. what is the perimeter of the carpet? explain with diagram

Answer 1

Answer:

22m

Step-by-step explanation:

Room's dimensions= 8m*5m

If we leave a border of 0.5 m in all directions length and breadth would decrease by 1 m each.

Thus, new dimensions are 7m*4m

Perimeter=2(l+b)

                =2(7+4)

                =22m
