A community center is Decorating their bulletin board and wants to put a border around the edges the dimensions of the rectangular bulletin board or 48 x 60 how many inches of border material are needed

1 answer

To find out how many inches of border material are needed, we first need to calculate the perimeter of the bulletin board.

The perimeter of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Given that the dimensions of the bulletin board are 48 inches by 60 inches, we can plug these values into the formula:

Perimeter = 2(48 + 60)
Perimeter = 2(108)
Perimeter = 216 inches

Since the border will go around all four edges of the bulletin board, you will need 216 inches of border material.
