Question

Sandy is planning to build a triangular garden with the border made out of what two of the sides will be 16.4 feet in length the other side will be 4 1/2 feet she has a total of 38 feet does she have enough wood to make the border explain

Answer 1

she has enough wood to make the border

Explanation:

Two of the sides of the triangular garden = 16.4 feet

The other side of the triangular garden = 4 1/2 feet

= 4.5 feet

Total feet Sandy has = 38 feet

Does she have enough wood to make the border ?

Border of the triangular garden is the perimeter of the garden

Perimeter of a triangle = side A + side B + side C

= 16.4 feet + 16.4 feet + 4.5 feet

= 37.3 feet

Perimeter of a triangle = 37.3 feet

Lenth of wood remaining = Total length of wood - length used for border

= 38 feet - 37.3 feet

= 0.7 feet

Therefore, she has enough wood to make the border
