Mr Harris had a piece of rope that measured 10 feet. He cut it into 15 equal pieces. How long was each piece?

I think that it is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

I multiplied 10 times 12 because there is 12 inches in a foot. Then I divided 120 by 8.

I hope this is right

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
