| Randy wanted to put a fence in his backyard and
needed to estimate the distance to see how much fence
he would need to buy. He couldn't find a ruler, yardstick,
or even a tape measure, so he picked up a shovel to
help him get an idea of the distance. Then he saw
a longer piece of wood. He didn't know which one to
use to help him.
- What would you recommend to Randy to be more
precise and to use to get an approximate length
of fence?
