Question

you and some neighbors are landscaping a community park. the organizer of the project selects an area for two congruent triangular rock gardens. You agree to be in charge of placing the pieces of wood outline the gardens. the only tools you have are a saw, a protractor, and two very long pieces of wood. Describe one way to guarantee that the triangular outlines will be congruent. Justify your answer.

Answer 1

First way that comes to mind is to restrict yourself in using 1 "long piece of wood" per congruent triangular rock garden and when creating outline pieces, make sure to perform that same cut to the other piece of wood. This way, you are creating 2 outlined identical pieces, one for one garden and the other for the other garden.
