a circular pool is enclosed by a square fence so that the pool touches the fence in four places. if the circumference of the pool is 100π feet, how much fencing was used to enclose the area? do not include any units in your answer and round to the nearest foot.

It is given in the question that

Ruben has two congruent wooden dowels. He cuts one dowel in two in order to have three pieces to make a triangle.

First we have to check out triangle inequality theorem, which is sum of two sides of a triangle must be greater then the third side .

But here the sum of two pieces of the cutted dowel is equal to the lenth of the first dowel.

SO here triangle inequality theorem is not following .

Hence , Ruben will not be able to make a triangle with his three pieces.
