First, we need to calculate the perimeter of the doorway to determine how much weatherstripping is needed.
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Perimeter = 2(62 cm + 219 cm)
Perimeter = 2(281 cm)
Perimeter = 562 cm
Now, convert the perimeter to meters:
562 cm ÷ 100 = 5.62 meters
Now, calculate the total cost of weatherstripping:
Cost = 5.62 meters x $6.00/meter
Cost = $33.72
Therefore, it cost $33.72 to weatherstrip the door.
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
