Answer to Problem 33PPS

The minimum material needed by Aisha is 7.5 ft .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given sides of the triangle are:

  3 ft and 4 ft .

Consider the unknown length as x .

Consider the inequality of triangle theorem:

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle should be greater than the third side.

Consider the third side of the triangle as 4 .

Calculate the range of x using the inequality of triangle.

  x+3>4x>1

Consider the third side of the triangle as x .

Calculate the range of x using the inequality of triangle.

  3+4>x7>x

Consider the third side of the triangle as 3 .

Calculate the range of x using the inequality of triangle.

  x+4>3x>−1

It is seen that x cannot be negative

From the above range, find the range of x .

  1<x<7

Calculate the maximum distance travelled by Aisha.

Add 0.5 ft to the maximum range of the cloth.

  7−0.5=7.5 ft

Hence, the minimum material needed by Aisha is 7.5 ft .
