Markin is making a flag shaped like a square. Each side measures 13 m. He wants to add ribbon along the edges. He has 48 m of ribbon. Does he have enough ribbon? If it is not enough,how much more ribbon needed?
Given :
Side length of square shaped flag = 13 m
Length of ribbon markin has to add along edges = 48 m
To know if the ribbon will enough ; we obtain the perimeter of the square shaped flag ;
4 * side length
4 * 13 = 52 meters
52 > 48
Since the perimeter is greater than the length of ribbon, then ribbon can't be enough
