On a coordinate plane, shapes show the size of swings, a slide, a merry-go-round, and a sandbox. The sandbox has points (0, 6),

(8, 12), (12, 6), and (8, 0).
A sandbox is shaped like a kite. Each unit on the coordinate plane represents one foot. A planner would like to replace the wooden border around the sandbox. How many feet of wood does he need? Round up to the nearest whole number.

The number of feet of wood that is needed is given as 35 feet of wood.

<h3>How to solve for the wood</h3>

We have to do this through the use of pythagoras theorem

a² = b² + c²

8² + 6²

a = √100

= 10

4² + 6²

= 52

a = √52

Then we would have

10 + 10 + √52 + √52

= 34.42

This is approximately 35 feet
