Peter is making an "X marks the spot" flag for a treasure hunt. The flag is made of a square white flag with sides of 12 centimeters. He will make the "X" by stretching red ribbon diagonally from corner to corner.

33.94 cms of ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you need two diagonals to form the x, therefore the amount  of ribbon needed is the sum of the distance of both diagonals.

When crossing the diagonal, a rectangular angle is formed, where the diagonal would be the hypotenuse, we know that the distance of the hypotenuse can be calculated by means of the legs, which we know its value (12):

d ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2

a = b = 12

d ^ 2 = 12 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2

d ^ 2 = 288

d = 288 ^ (1/2)

d = 16.97

16.97 cm is what it measures, a diagonal, therefore tape is needed:

16.97 * 2 = 33.94

A total of 33.94 cms of ribbon is needed

Answer from jmonterrozar

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
