Answer and Explanation: To know how much tape he will need, we have to calculate the perimeter of each parallelogram-shaped stripe.
Perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a figure.
For a parallelogram:
P = 2*length + 2*width
So, we need to determine width and length of the stripe.
Width is 3 inches. Length is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, whose sides are 6 and 18 inches. Then, length is
h = 19 in
Perimeter of the first stripe is
P = (2*19) + (2*3)
P = 44 inches
The hazard sign has 3 stripes. So total perimeter is
44 + 44 + 44
132 inches
To outline the parallelogram-shaped stripes, Charles need a total of 132 inches of tape. Since one roll has 144 inches, he will have enough tape to finish the job.
