Sheryl has a Christmas lighting project. She is going to put lights around the outside of 15 windows with
a height of 4ft and a width of 2ft. She also wants to
put lights around her 3 garage doors that are 9 feet
tall and 9 feet wide. How many feet of christmas
lights would be needed for this project?
And 288ft says it’s incorrect

If hanging Christmas lights around the garage door is on your holiday to do list, make sure to do it right. Decorating shouldn't be a once-a-year activity that does permanent damage to your home or your body.

When it comes to hanging holiday lights around your garage door, use clips and hooks specifically designed for the task. Avoid using metal fasteners like staples or nails if you are attaching lights directly to the trim; the metal can damage the wiring and create a fire or electrocution hazard. Instead, clip the plastic fasteners to the light string and attach the plastic fasteners to your trim. This way the clips can remain throughout the year, and lights are more easy to hang in the holidays to come.

For the vertical runs, find the trim clips that wrap around the light string and hold it into place (this is particularly important for our Sioux City and Yankton breezes and blizzards). Aim for a clip every 12 inches or so. Some homeowners choose to nail the clips for stability; others use a removable adhesive.

If you are continuing to light up your house with lights around your roof and gutter lines, there are other items that can help make this process easier. Roof and gutter clips can be pressed directly onto the home's exterior; they typically have a hook at the bottom that grabs the light string. Please be very careful when working on high and precarious locations!
