Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) Rita doesn't have enough wire

(b) Length of the wire (26 cm) < Required length (30 cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Rita doesn't have enough wire

(b) Distance from nail to the top edge of the picture = 8 cm

Width of the frame = 22 cm

Distance from nail to the top edge of the frame = 8 + 22 = 30 cm.

So, Rita should have a wire of length greater than 30 cm.

But, since Rita has only 26 cm. length of wire, she is not able to hang the picture.

my teacher even said it was not enough there’d is my eevidence a 55 year old teacher said it was not enough
