To find the total amount of trim needed to go around the window, we need to calculate the perimeter of the window.
The formula for the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is given by:
\[ P = 2 \times (width + height) \]
In this case, the width of the window is 3 feet and the height is 6 feet. Plugging these values into the formula:
\[ P = 2 \times (3 \text{ feet} + 6 \text{ feet}) \]
\[ P = 2 \times 9 \text{ feet} \]
\[ P = 18 \text{ feet} \]
Therefore, Hudson needs to buy **18 feet** of trim.
