Question

11. Connect Mia has a piece of string that

is 2 meters long. She cuts it into 4 equal
pieces. Is one of the pieces of string long
enough to tie around the perimeter
of a square box with a side length of
16 centimeters? Explain.

Answer 1

No because 50 cm would be short of 14 cm required to cover the total perimeter

Explanation:

2 meter long string into 4 equal part

1 part = 50 cm

Side length of the square = 16

16 × 4 = 64cm ⇔ Perimeter of the square box

50 < 64
