A classroom board is 54 inches wide and 36 inches tall. Eva
Lady bird [3.3K]
<h3>Answer:  180 inches</h3>

Work Shown:

L = 54 = length

W = 36 = width

P = 2(L+W) ... perimeter of the rectangle

P = 2(54+36)

P = 2(90)

P = 180

She needs 180 inches of ribbon.

To convert to feet, divide by 12. So 180 inches = 180/12 = 15 feet.

Find the values of the variables for the parallelogram if m&lt;1=4y-2. Round your answers to two decimal places if necessary!
hichkok12 [17]

The prallelogram whose adjacent sides are equal and one vertex angle is 90 degrees is a square.

The value of angle 1 is 90 degrees as the diagonal of the square intersect at 90 degrees.

\begin{gathered} 4y-2=90 \\ 4y=92 \\ y=23 \end{gathered}

The value of y is 23.

The diagonal of the square bisect the vertex angle hence the angle of 3x is 45 degrees.

\begin{gathered} 3x=45 \\ x=15 \end{gathered}

Thus, the value of x is 15 degrees.

The value of 12z is 45 degrees.

\begin{gathered} 12z=45 \\ z=3.75 \end{gathered}

Thus, the required value of z is 3.75 degrees.
