After geometry class, Bill wants to count how many lines he drew. For each shape, he drew one line per side. If he drew 12 triangles, 8 squares, and 4 pentagons, how many lines did he draw? Let's answer step by step:
For the triangles, he drew 36 lines because 12 times 3 equals 36. For the squares, he drew 32 lines because 8 times 4 equals 32. For the pentagons, he drew 20 lines because 4 times 5 equals 20. He drew 88 lines in total because 36 plus 32 plus 20 equals 88. The answer: 88.
