Answer:

Yes, it is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the length of the longest side of the triangle cannot be larger than the sum of the lenghts of the two shortest sides.

In formula, this means that:

c\leq a+b

where

c is the length of the longest side

a, b are the lengths of the shortest side

In this problem, we want to build a triangle using 3 pieces of lumber, each of length:

a = 3 ft

b = 7 ft

c = 8 ft

We can verify that the length of the longest piece of lumber is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides, so:

8\leq 3+7 = 10

Therefore, yes, it is possible to build a closed triangular pen.
