Ling is putting up wallpaper border on three walls that are 14 feet long and 12 feet tall. How many feet of wallpaper border will she use if she puts the border

Question

Only at the top of the wall?

Answer 1

LaTanya,

 

This question includes irrelevant information.  It doesn't matter how tall the wall is, because Ling is not wallpapering the entire wall.  You don't need to find the area, only the linear length of the 3 walls.

 

3*14=42ft

 

I hope that helps.
