Question

In the figure above if sides LM and NM are cut apart from each other at point M creating 2 free swinging segments and each is folded down to LN in the

directions shown by the arrows, what will be the length, in meters, of the overlap of the 2 segments?(disregard the thickness of the segments)

Answer 1

12 - ( 6 + 2 ) = 12 - 8 = 4 m
The length of the overlap of the segments is 4 m.
