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

Answer:

-9,-8,-4, 5, 21, 46,95,159

Step-by-step explanation:

We keep adding the square numbers to the previous terms

-9+1^2=-8

-8+2^2=-4

-4+3^2=5

5+4^2=21

21+6^2=46

The next term is 46+7^2=95

The next one is 95+8^2=159

We got this by observing the pattern
