Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

the student's answer was not reasonable in the sense that the case only delt with the ribbons and not anything else. the three feet are not right because we do not understand the origin of the third foot.

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
