Answer:
Length of 6 feet
Width of 2 feet
The estimate of the perimeter of the countertop is 16 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangle:
A rectangle has two dimensions: The length(l) and the width(w). The perimeter of a rectange is:
P = 2(l + w).
In this question:
Length: 5.75 feet
Width: 2.47 feet.
Round the length and width to the nearest whole number .
5.75 is closer to 6(0.25) than to 5(0.75). So the length is 6 feet.
2.47 is closer to 2(0.47) than to 3(0.53). So the width is 2 feet.
Then estimate the perimeter of the countertop
P = 2(l + w) = 2(6 + 2) = 16
The estimate of the perimeter of the countertop is 16 feet.
