To find the length of the spider's thread, we need to calculate the total distance traveled by the spider in the tank. Let's break it down into three sections:
1. Top right back corner to the middle: According to the information provided, the length of this section is 35 inches.
2. Middle to bottom left front corner: The length of this section is 16 inches.
3. Bottom left front corner to the bottom left back corner: The length of this section is 12 inches.
Adding up the lengths of these three sections, we get:
35 inches + 16 inches + 12 inches = 63 inches
Therefore, the length of the spider's thread would need to be approximately 63 inches to cover the path shown in the tank.
Samosa spider was able to create one thread that would extend from the top right back corner of his tank to the bottom left front corner approximately how long would that thread need to be for the tank below the path of the spider's thread is shown with a red dotted line round your answer to the nearest tenth of an inch 35 inch at the top 16 inch in the middle and 12 inch at the bottom
