Respuesta :

Well simply we need to understand how many feet there are in a yard 
in this case
1 yard = 3 feet 
1 foot = 12 inches 
so 12 x 3 = 36 
So the total perimeter of her scarf was 36 inches!
so some possible dimentions of her scarf could be 7 inches wide and 11 inches long. 
if we check that 
7 + 7 + 11 + 11 = 36! 
so this is a correct possibility
