Race volunteers place flags to mark the trails for a race. Each flag needs to be outlined with reflective tape. How many inches of tape are needed for each flag?
trail race
6.8 in.
14.25 in.
13.6 in.
We'll need tp find the _ of the shape of the flag.
To do that, add the side lengths.
Add zeros in the hundredths places where needed.
14.25 + 13.6 + 6.8 = _
Estimate to check the answer:
_ + 14 + 7 = _
This is close to 34.65 inches, so the answer is reasonable.

We'll need to find the perimeter of the shape of the flag.
To do that, add the side lengths.
Add zeros in the hundredths places where needed.
14.25 + 13.6 + 6.8 = 34.65
Estimate to check the answer:
14 + 14 + 7 = 35
This is close to 34.65 inches, so the answer is reasonable.
