Answer:
The perimeter with the border = 7 feet
Explanation:
The length of the painting with the border, L = 3 in + 1.5 ft + 3 in
1 inch = 1/12 ft
3 in = 3/12 ft = 0.25 ft
L = 0.25 ft + 1.5 ft + 0.25 ft
L = 2 ft
The width of the painting with the border, W = 3 in + 1 ft + 3 in
W = 0.25 ft + 1 ft + 0.25 ft
W = 1.5 ft
The painting (with the border is rectangular in shape)
The perimeter, P = 2(L + W)
P = 2(2 + 1.5)
P = 2(3.5)
P = 7 ft
The perimeter with the border = 7 feet
