A sail is shaped like an isosceles
triangle. The short side is 9 ft
long and is half the length of
each longer side. The sail has
holes for rope spaced 1 ft apart
around its perimeter. How many
holes are there? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!

Respuesta :

Answer: 45 holes

Step-by-step explanation:

       If the short side is half the length of each longer side, then the longer sides are 18 ft long (9 ft * 2).

       Let us find the perimeter of the triangle:

9 ft + 18 ft + 18 ft = 45 ft

       Now, there is a hole every 1 ft.

45 ft / 1 ft = 45 holes
