Dancers making shapes with poles
A group of dancers manipulate poles into different shapes. What shapes can the dancers make with their poles? With three poles of equal length, they can make an equal-sided triangle and with four poles of equal length, they can make a square. With 6 or 12 poles, they could make differently-sized rectangles, and 12 equal lengths will also make a cross and a star.
