Question

Describe how Wendell can use all six pieces of wood to create either two rectangular gardens or two triangular gardens. Assume the gardens do not share a common side.

To create the flower gardens, Wendell bought six pieces of wood. Pieces A and B are 6 feet long, pieces C and D are 8 feet long, piece E is 3 feet long, and piece F is 2 feet long.

Answer 1

$\: \huge \mathfrak\green{answer}$

He needs 4 pieces for the first rectangle which leaves only 2 pieces for the second rectangle. Rectangles must have 4 sides. He can create 2 triangular gardens. Triangles only require 3 sides which means he can make 2 triangular gardens.
