The length of tape that will be required to go round the 4 pennants will be 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scout troop is making triangular pennants for their tents. Two sides of each pennant are 2 feet long and the third side is 1 foot long.

Therefore, the perimeter of the triangular base will be = (2 + 2 + 1) = 5 feet.

So, 5 feet of binding tape will be required to go around the pennant.

Hence, the length of tape that will be required to go round the 4 pennants will be = 4 * 5 = 20 feet. (Answer)
