Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT-4o]

To determine the angle formed by the fence in the corner where two sides meet, you want a tool that allows you to measure or compare angles, rather than distances. Among the options given:

1. **A baseball bat**: Typically, a baseball bat is too long and cumbersome to use effectively for measuring angles in a confined space like a corner.
2. **A wooden spoon**: This might be more manageable in size than a baseball bat, but it's still not particularly suited for measuring angles.
3. **A crayon**: A crayon is small, portable, and can be maneuvered into the corner more easily.

While none of these is an ideal tool for precisely measuring angles (consider a protractor for that), the **crayon** (statement #3) would be the best choice among the given options. Its small size allows you to use it to approximate the angle by placing it along one fence and then along the other, helping to visualize the opening between the two sides.
