The required lenght of the remaining part is 24.625 inches.
What is the perimeter?
Perimeter is the measure of the figure on its circumference.
1 feet = 12 inches
let x be the length of the board cut, y be the length of the remaining portion
x = 15 (3/4)
x = 11.250
The length of the board before the cut is L = 3 ft
= 3 * 12
= 36 inches
Now, the length of the rest of the board if the width of the saw is 1/8 inches,
Whole length = length of the cut portion + width of the saw + length of the rest of the portion.
L = x + 1/8 + y
36 = 11.250 + 0.125 +y
y = 36 -11.250 - 0.125
y = 24.625
Thus, the required length of the remaining part is 24.625 inches.
