Answer 1

Ribbon can't be enough

Explanation:

Markin is making a flag shaped like a square. Each side measures 13 m. He wants to add ribbon along the edges. He has 48 m of ribbon. Does he have enough ribbon? If it is not enough,how much more ribbon needed?

Given :

Side length of square shaped flag = 13 m

Length of ribbon markin has to add along edges = 48 m

To know if the ribbon will enough ; we obtain the perimeter of the square shaped flag ;

4 * side length

4 * 13 = 52 meters

52 > 48

Since the perimeter is greater than the length of ribbon, then ribbon can't be enough
