Answer:
The diagonal stripes would require a total of 34 feet of tape.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have six hypotenuses, and you can use the Pythagorean theorem to get their lengths.
The total length of the two big diagonals then is:
2×√(36 + 36)
and the total length of the four small diagonals is
4 ×√(9 + 9)
so the total length is:
2√72 + 4√18
= 12√2 + 12√2
= 24√2
≈ 33.9
