First, we must find the length and width of the stone. To do this, divide the area by the side that we know. 7/10*5/4 This comes to 7/8, the other side length. Adding 7/8 and 5/4 together and multiplying by two gives us the perimeter. This comes out to 17/4, or 4 and 1/4 inches. Therefore, 3.5 inches of wiring would not be enough. Please mark Brainliest!!!
