Why do you have to use estimation to find the number of triangles you need for the string?

PLEASE HELP ME PRETTY PLEASE IT IS PAST DUE!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 Happy Halloween!!!

Estimation is used to find the number of triangles needed for the string because it provides a rough approximation that can help in planning and budgeting for the craft project.

To estimate the number of triangles needed for the string, you can follow these steps:

1. Determine the length of each triangle: Measure the length of a single triangle that you will be using for the craft project. Let's assume the length of the triangle is 10 cm.

2. Calculate the number of triangles that can fit in one meter: Divide the length in one meter (100 cm) by the length of each triangle. In this case, 100 cm / 10 cm = 10 triangles.

3. Calculate the total length of the string required: Determine the length of the banner, which is given as 60. Let's assume the unit for the length is in meters. So, the total length of the string required would be 60 meters.

4. Multiply the number of triangles that can fit in one meter by the total length of the string required: Multiply the number of triangles that can fit in one meter (step 2) by the total length of the string required (step 3). In this case, 10 triangles/meter x 60 meters = 600 triangles.

Based on this estimation, you would need approximately 600 triangles for the string on the Cool Crafts Portfolio banner. However, keep in mind that this is just an estimate, and the actual number of triangles required may vary depending on factors such as the desired spacing between the triangles and any additional considerations for the craft project.
