Given:

Sydney wants to put a ribbon around the outside of her rectangular banner.

The length of the banner = 4 feet

The width of the banner = 3 feet

So, the length of the ribbon = the perimeter of the banner

So, the length of the ribbon =


2*(4+3)=2*7=14\text{ f}eet

So, the answer will be the length of the ribbon will be 14 feet.
