Answer:
17 feet and 19 feet
Explanation:
Think of it as an equation.
x + x + 2 = 36
2x + 2 = 36
2x = 34
x = 17
Now we know one piece is 17 feet long. Let's plug it in and see how long the next piece is.
17 + 17 + 2 = 36
17 + 19 = 36
Now we know the 2 pieces of board are 17 and 19. 19 is 2 feet longer than 17, and they add up to 36.
