    A child's bedroom is rectangular in shape with dimensions 17 feet by 15 feet. How many feet of wallpaper border are needed to wrap around the entire room?

    A rectangle has an Perimeter (P) of:
    P = 2l + 2w

    We're given l = 17 and w = 15. So we have:
    P = 2(17) + 2(15)
    P = 34 + 30
    P = 64
