plywood 26cm by 8 cm is cut into 2 cm strips find total length of strips
(26*8)cm^2 / 2cm = 104 cm
or
4*26 = 13*8 = 104

26/2 = 13 strips you can get from cutting the plywood. 13*(2*3) = 78 cm
To find the total length of the strips, we need to first calculate how many strips can be obtained from the plywood.
1. Calculate the length of the plywood strip:
We are given the dimensions of the plywood as 26 cm by 8 cm. We are required to cut the plywood into 2 cm strips. Let's focus on the longer side of the plywood, which is 26 cm.
To find out how many 2 cm strips can be obtained, we divide the length of the plywood (26 cm) by the width of each strip (2 cm). So, 26 cm ÷ 2 cm = 13 strips.
2. Calculate the total length of the strips:
Now, we know there are 13 strips in total. Each strip has a width of 8 cm (as per the given dimensions of the plywood). Therefore, the total length of the strips is obtained by multiplying the number of strips by the width of each strip.
Total length of the strips = Number of strips × Width of each strip
Total length of the strips = 13 strips × 8 cm = 104 cm.
Therefore, the total length of the strips obtained from the plywood is 104 cm.
