it takes 70 inches of ribbon around a box. the bow takes 32 inches of ribbon the width of the box is 14 inches. what is the height of the box

5 inches, please brainliest!

Jessica, I assume the question is asking how long the box is?

In this case, the ribbon needed to tie the bow is not needed, so you are going to subtract that from the total (70-32=38). That means the box perimeter (in two dimensions).

w=14
l=?

Perimeter=2w+2l
38=2(14)+2l
38-28=2l
10=2l
5=l

The box is 5 inches long.

You can verify this by 2w+2l+bow=total. 2(14)+2(5)+32=70... 28+10+32=70... 70=70

Cbecause they are equal so that means it is the same on both sides? ! hope this
