@zepdrix @agent0smith

Ok find the perimeter first

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

So 2(71)+2(42)

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

226

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

After that, divide by 12 (so that you convert from inches to feet)

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

18.8 ft

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

Ok divide by 9

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

why by 9?

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

Because the packages come in 9ft

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

oh k i got 2.1

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

Yep so you must have 3 packages, you can't have .1 of a package

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

Even if it was 2.0000001 you still need 3 packages haha

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

lol thanks you!
