Troy is making a flag shaped like a square. Each side measure 12 inches. He wants to add ribbon along the edges. He has 36 inches of ribbon. Does he have enough ribbon? Explain.

Since each side is 12 inches, then multiply 12 by 4 since it's a square and has 4 sides which makes 48.
48 is bigger than 36, so therefore, Troy does not have enough ribbon.
