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.

6.7 x  -2.3
You would multiply this just like any other multiplication question. 
There is some work of course, but I'm not going to write it out here...
You are going to end up with -15.41, which is already rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Hope this helped :)
