Mr. Ely is drawing a quadrilateral on a piece of paper. He only wants the perimeter to be 50 cm. If he draws one side that is 12 cm long, how long can the other sides be?
There are many answers here! A quadrilateral has four sides, so all of the total of the other three sides must equal 38 cm
(50 cm - 12 cm = 38 cm)
Example:
10 cm, 12 cm, 16 cm
30 cm, 6 cm, 2 cm
36 cm, 1 cm, 1 cm
