Answer:
The correct length is <em>34 feet</em>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the wall created is a rectangle <em>ABCD</em> as shown in the attached image.
We know that opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.
<em>Perimeter</em> of a <em>closed figure is calculated by adding all the sides of the figure</em>.
Here, from the figure, the perimeter is : AB + BC + CD + DA
AB and CD are equal to length.
BC and DA are equal to width.
So,
Here, we are given that <em>perimeter </em>is 100 feet and <em>width</em> = 16 feet
Putting values in equation (1):
Hence, length is 34 feet.
For this case, we perform the conversions:
First roll:
We make a rule of three to determine the number of "c" boxes that can be packed with 300 meters of adhesive tape.
1 -----------> 4.2
c -----------> 300
You can pack 71 boxes.
Second roll:
We make a rule of three to determine the number of "c" boxes that can be packed with 70 meters of adhesive tape.
1 -----------> 4.2
c -----------> 70
You can pack 16 boxes.
Third roll:
1 -----------> 4.2
c -----------> 50
You can pack 11 boxes.
Thus, in total you can pack
Answer:
98 boxes
