Ruben has two congruent wooden dowels. he cuts one dowel in two in order to have three pieces to make a triangle. explain why, despite having three sides, ruben will not be able to make a triangle with his three pieces.

Idk if you can read the pic but basically if the half-dowels are each joined to one end of the long dowel (which they would have to be to make a triangle) as soon you rotate them away from the long dowel to make two sides they separate. to be a triangle, all sides have to connect - so no triangle
