The cost to buy ceiling molding to go around a rectangular room will be  $156.02.

What is a rectangle?

The rectangle is a 2D shape having four sides with opposite sides parallel.

We have,

The molding costs per linear foot =  $2.69

Length of room = 20 ft

Breadth of room = 9 ft

So,

First, find the perimeter of the rectangle,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)

So,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2( 20 + 9) = 2 × 29 = 58 ft

Now,

The molding cost = 58 × 2.69 = $156.02

Hence we can say that the cost to buy ceiling molding to go around a rectangular room will be  $156.02.
