Answer 1

Answer:

192 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

length of the ribbon needed = perimeter of right angled triangle x 2

to determine perimeter, the value of the hypotenuse needs to be known

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c =  hypotenuse

32² + 24²

= 1024 + 576

= 1600

square root = 40

length of rope = 2 x (40 + 32 + 24) = 192
