Question

1) For a neighborhood improvement project, you volunteer to help build a new sandbox at the town playground. You have two boards that will make up two sides of the triangular sandbox. One is 5 feet long and the other is 8 feet long. Boards come in lengths shown. Which boards can you use for the third side of the sandbox? Explain.

Answer 1

Either would work, as long as two of the sides are equal in length,the third would simply connect them.
However this would would be an oddly shaped sandbox
