Question

three pins are inserted into a cork mat at points c, e and d. the three pins are collinear. how much string is needed to reach from the pin at e to the pin at d and then to the pin at c? inches

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given lengths

The length from $E$ to $D$ is $2.7$ inches and from $D$ to $C$ is $11$ inches.

Step2: Calculate total length

We need to find the length from $E$ to $D$ and then from $D$ to $C$. We add the two lengths together. So the total length $L = 2.7+11$.
$L=13.7$ inches

Answer:

$13.7$
