GPT 3.5
First, we need to calculate the perimeter of the doorway to determine the total length of weatherstripping needed.
Perimeter = 2(132 cm) + 2(279 cm)
Perimeter = 264 cm + 558 cm
Perimeter = 822 cm
Converting the perimeter to meters:
Perimeter = 822 cm ÷ 100
Perimeter = 8.22 meters
Now, we can calculate the total cost of weatherstripping:
Cost = 8.22 meters × $4.00/meter
Cost = $32.88
Therefore, it cost $32.88 to weatherstrip the door.
Perimeter = 2(132 cm) + 2(279 cm)
Perimeter = 264 cm + 558 cm
Perimeter = 822 cm
Converting the perimeter to meters:
Perimeter = 822 cm ÷ 100
Perimeter = 8.22 meters
Now, we can calculate the total cost of weatherstripping:
Cost = 8.22 meters × $4.00/meter
Cost = $32.88
Therefore, it cost $32.88 to weatherstrip the door.
