Kiran has 10 1/2 feet of lumber and wants to make a bookshelfKiran needs two side panels that are each 5 2/3 feet. How much more

eimsori [14]

Total height of lumber, H = 10 1/2 feet = 21/2 feet .

Height of side panel, h = 5 2/3 feet = 17/3 feet .

Now,

Extra lumber required, L = 2 × Height of side panel - Total height of lumber

$L=[2\times (\dfrac{17}{3})]-\dfrac{21}{2}\\\\L = \dfrac{5}{6}\ feet$

Therefore, extra lumber required is $\dfrac{5}{6}$ feet.

Hence, this is the required solution.
