Michelle is making throw pillows to decorate her couch. She is going to make two square pillows that are each 2 feet by 2 feet a
nd three triangular pillows that are 1 foot on each side. She wants to use the same trim around each pillow. How many feet of trim will she need for all the pillows?
ok so for the 2 ft pillows the perimeter would be 8 ft and for the 1 ft pillows the perimeter would be 3 ft. So you would need 8(2)+3(3)=16+9=25 so she needs 25 feet of trimming.
