To find the perimeter of the room, you need to add up all the four sides. Since the width of the room is 7 ft, both opposite sides will have the same length.
To determine the length of the sides, divide the area of the room by the width:
Length = Area / Width
Length = 56 sq ft / 7 ft
Length = 8 ft
Now, the perimeter of the room is:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2 * (8 ft + 7 ft)
Perimeter = 2 * 15 ft
Perimeter = 30 ft
Since Alicia will put the animal wall border on all four walls, she will need a total of 30 ft of border.
The area of a room is 56 sq ft the width of the room is 7 ft if Alicia is going to put an animal wall border on all four walls of the room how many feet of border does she need
