He will need 17 inches of ribbon.

The diagonal splits the square into two right triangles.  We can then use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal (the hypotenuse of the triangle):

12² + 12² = x²
144 + 144 = x²
288 = x²

Take the square root of both sides:
√288 = √x²
16.97 = x
17≈x

What is the width of a rectangle with length 14cm and area 161 cm^2
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be found with the formula A = l*w, where l is the length of the rectangle and w is the width.

From the given problem statement, we know that l = 14 and A = 161, so we can fill in those values in the formula anbd solve for w to get the width:

A = l*w

161 = 14w

Divide both sides by 14 to isolate w by itself:

\frac{161}{14} = \frac{14w}{14}

w = 11.5
