Question

The bus is 55 feet long and 12 feet wide the maintenance crew wants to paint 3 pink stripes around the outside of the bus what will be the total length of the three pink stripes?
Ms. Sue
The perimeter of the bus is the distance around it.

P = 2L + 2W

P = 2(55) + 2(12)

P = 110 + 24

P = 134 feet for one stripe

Multiply 124 by 3 to find the total length of the three stripes.
