Question

Sue plans to paste two ribbons along the diagonals of the top surface of a rectangular gift box, as shown below. What is the minimum length of ribbon that Sue would require?

Answer 1

Do you know how to solve for the hypotenuse of a right triangle?

Answer 2

I have to run but the formula would be: \[c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\](see attached picture)

That will give you the length of 1 ribbon...just double it to get the total amount of ribbon needed.

Answer 3

So I double 25?

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

Thanks

Answer 6

you're welcome
