Question

Hailey has a rectangular bedspread that measures 890 cm by 2891 cm. She wants to sew a fringe around the edge of the bedspread. What length of fringe does hailey need to buy

Answer 1

`7562\text{ cm}=75.62 \text{ m}`

Explanation:

We have been given that Hailey has a rectangular bedspread that measures 890 cm by 2891 cm. She wants to sew a fringe around the edge of the bedspread. We are asked to find the length of the fringe.

The length of the fringe that Hailey needs will be equal to perimeter of the rectangle. We know that perimeter of the rectangle is two times the sum of length and width.

`\text{Length of required fringe}=2(890\text{ cm}+2891\text{ cm})`

`\text{Length of required fringe}=2(3781\text{ cm})`

`\text{Length of required fringe}=7562\text{ cm}`

We can convert 7562 cm into meters by dividing by 100 as 1 meter equals 100 cm.

`7562\text{ cm}=(7561)/(100)\text{ m}=75.62 \text{ m}`

`7562\text{ cm}=75.62 \text{ m}`

Therefore, Hailey needs 7562 cm or 75.62 meters of fringe.

Answer 2

Haley requires 7562 cm of fringe to sew around the edge of the bedspread.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Dimension of rectangular bedspread:

Width, w = 890 cm

Length, l = 2891 cm

We have to calculate the length of fringe required to sew around the edge of the bedspread.

Length of fringe = Perimeter of rectangular bedspread

`P = 2(l+w)\\P = 2(2891+890)\\P=7562\text{ cm}`

Thus, Haley requires 7562 cm of fringe to sew around the edge of the bedspread.
