35.5 wouldn’t be enough. She needs 2 1/4 of yards of material, first you would need to convert the fraction into a decimal and 1/4 is .25 which gives you 2.25 now you multiply 16 x 2.25 which gives you 36. That’s why 35.5 wouldn’t be enough.
A(-7,-4) B(-2,0)
√[(x'-x)^2+(y'-y)^2]
√(-2-(-7)^2+(0-(-4)^2
√(5^2)+(4^2)
√25+16
√41
the distance is approximately 6.4 units
Well actually depending on the size, if a small one I would use liters, but if a large ones like Olympics I would use kilolitres.
