Two wooden poles measured 1.35m and 0.83m in length. to make a new pole thay were attached by overlapping the ends and tying them together. the length of the overlap was 12cm. what was the total length of the new pole in metres? How do you do this?
1.35 + 0.83 - 0.12 = ?
thannks alot
You're welcome.
can you help me with my other problem
To find the total length of the new pole in meters, we need to combine the lengths of the two wooden poles and subtract the length of the overlap.
Given:
Length of the first pole = 1.35m
Length of the second pole = 0.83m
Length of the overlap = 12cm
Step 1: Convert the length of the overlap to meters.
To convert centimeters to meters, divide by 100.
12cm รท 100 = 0.12m
Step 2: Add the lengths of the two poles together.
1.35m + 0.83m = 2.18m
Step 3: Subtract the length of the overlap from the total length of the two poles.
2.18m - 0.12m = 2.06m
Therefore, the total length of the new pole is 2.06 meters.
