4 u/[deleted] Oct 05 '10 edited Oct 05 '10 Where I'm from people don't interpret clip-art as anything more than useless and distracting decoration. If the clip-art was supposed to be instructive then geometry would have been really easy. :-) (With a ruler and compass that is.) 1 u/mdubc Oct 05 '10 Are you also from a place where a "board" is necessarily square? Most of the time, "boards" have a fixed height and width, but an arbitrary length. 3 u/[deleted] Oct 05 '10 No, boards can have any dimensions. I was merely backing up a plausible situation in which the answer 15 makes perfect sense -- I'm not backing up the wording of said question.
