Lucinda wants to build a square sandbox but has no way of measuring angles. Explain how she can make sure that the sandbox is square by measuring only length.
All sides of a square must be the same length.
a.Arrange four equal-length sides so the diagonals bisect each other. b.Arrange four equal-length sides so the diagonals are equal in length. c.Make each diagonal the same length as four equal-length sides. d.This is not possible; Lucinda has to be able to measure a right angle.

|dw:1381508134677:dw| Measure the length between the diagonal corners, when they are the same then the square or retangle has 90 degree corners
can you get it from that?
she cant measure. @ehuman
Pretty sure it's b.
it says you cant measure angles, only length you make a box have 90 degree corners by making sure that the distance between the diagonals are the same
come on dancer ler her/him think
i got it thanks guys
