To mark X spot, the ribbon should be stretched diagonally from one end to another. Since the flag is a square, a diagonal cuts the square into 2 equal triangles. The diagonal length is the hypotenuse of the triangle, as the triangles formed are 2 right angled triangles.
Using Pythogoras' theorem, hypotenuse can be found out with the following equation;
H² = X² +X²
where H is the hypotenuse in other words the diagonal
X - length of the triangle, since its a square all lengths are equal
X- 12 inches
H² = 12² + 12²
    = 144+144 
H² = 288
H = 16.9 inches≈17 inches
to make the mark X he will need 2 strips of ribbons of length 17 inches each.
total length of the ribbon needed = 34 inches

Solve -52 = 4m for m
ZanzabumX [31]

Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.


Isolate the variable. Divide 4 from both sides


(-52)/4 = (4m)/4


m = -52/4


m = -13


-13 is your answer for m



hope this helps
