Answer:
He should buy lights that are 2088 inches long
Step-by-step explanation:
Craig has a rectangle wooden deck that measures 799 inches by 245 inches.
Let us say the length, L, is 799 inches and the breadth, B, is 245 inches.
He wants to put a string of lights around the deck.
This means that he needs to buy the length of lights that would be equal to the perimeter of the rectangular deck.
The perimeter of a rectangle is given as:
P = 2(L + B)
Hence, the length of lights he should buy is:
P = 2(799 + 245) = 2(1044)
P = 2088 inches
He should buy lights that are 2088 inches long.
The perimeter of an object is given by the sum of all the sides of the object. Thus the perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the four sides of the quadrilateral.
Given a quadrilateral with sides: n, 2n - 12, 3n + 4, n + 7
The sum is n + 2n - 12 + 3n + 4 + n + 7 = 7n - 1 = 90
Thus, 7n = 90 + 1 = 91 and n = 91 / 7 = 13.
Therefore, the length of the side KL is n = 13 centimeters.
