Question

The amount of metal needed to be installed spring the workbench is

Answer 1

To answer this question we will use the following formula to compute the perimeter of a rectangle:

`Perimeter=2(length+width)`

Therefore the perimeter of the workbench is:

`Perimeter=2(5ft+3ft).`

Simplfying the above result we get:

`Perimeter=2(8ft)=16ft.`

Therefore we will need 16ft of metal stripping.

Answer: 16ft.
