a. Determine the total length of frame needed for a window with a base length of 4 feet. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot.

b. Write a function named h that relates the total length of the frame to the length of the base of the window.

c. If the cost of the framing material is $12 per linear foot, what is the cost of a window frame with a base length of 4 feet? Use your answer to part a), and round to the nearest penny.
