a.
Answer to Problem 14PFA
Plastic strip is 5 inches long.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:G cuts a plastic strip into two pieces, one of which 3 inches
longer than other .he then cuts the longer piece in half.Two of the three pieces are each 1 inch longer than the third piece
Calculation:
Let the original length of the plastic strip is x . x is cut in two pieces, if the length of one piece is y then length of other piece is
Longer piece is
So, Plastic strip is 5 inches long
