The complete question is as follows: A Christmas gift is tied with ribbon the bow requires 47cm of ribbon, what is the total length of the ribbon in cm?
Answer: The total length of the ribbon is 177 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
As there are 4 sides of the rectangular box and 20 cm of ribbon is on each side. This means that a total of [tex]4 \times 20 cm[/tex] = 80 cm is there on the top and bottom.
Hence, length of ribbon attached at the left and right side of the box is as follows.
[tex]2.5 \times 10 cm = 25 cm\\2 \times 25 cm = 50 cm[/tex]
This means that on both left and right side a total of 50 cm is there.
Therefore, total length of ribbon is as follows.
Total length = 47 cm + 50 cm + 80 cm = 177 cm
Thus, we can conclude that the total length of the ribbon is 177 cm.
