Answer is square with the side of 212 inches. It's area is 212×212 which is bigger than rectangular area.
Distance between points (3, -16) and (-10, -12) is 13.6015
We can pick a common denominator by multiplying.
3*7/5*7= 21/35
4*5/7*5= 20/35
We have our common denom is 15.
Our fractions: 21/35 and 20/35
Length of the original ribbon = 2/3 yard
Length of the ribbon in which the actual ribbon has to be cut = 1/12 yards
The above information's are already given in the question. It is required to find the number of pieces that the ribbon can be cut with the length that is already mentioned.
Then
Number of pieces that will be there = (2/3)/(1/12)
= (2 * 12)/3
= 24/3
= 8
So the actual ribbon can be cut into 8 pieces and each piece will have a length of 1/12 yards. Hopefully the procedure for doing this problem is clear to you. this is the easiest method for attempting these kind of problems.
