Answered by Ms. Sue
I'll get you started.

The doctor's office measures 10 ft by 12 ft.

10 * 12 = 120

Answered by amethyst
Oh! So I have to mulpite somethin next go get 44?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Perimeter = (2 * L) + (2 * W)

Substitute 10 and 12 for length and width. Do you get 44?
Answered by amethyst
What's substitute? We never learned yet..
Answered by Ms. Sue
P = (2 * 10) * (2 * 12)

P = ?

Answered by amethyst
I don't know how but I got 480
Answered by Ms. Sue
I'm sorry -- but I have a typo in the perimeter formula.

This is the correct formula.

P = (2 * 10) + (2 * 12)
Answered by amethyst
Oh 44. Now what?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. The perimeter is 44 feet.

Now answer the question.
