Ebony is following directions for folding a handkerchief, such that, after the handkerchief is folded, two opposite corners of the handkerchief coincide to make a bandana for her hair. After Ebony folds the handkerchief in half, the directions tell her to tie the two smaller angles of the triangle under her hair. If she folds the handkerchief with the dimensions given below, which two ends should she tie

If Ebony folds the handkerchief in half, it forms a right triangle. The two smaller angles of a right triangle are the acute angles. Since she is folding the handkerchief in half, the acute angles will be the corners where the folded edge meets the two ends of the handkerchief.

Therefore, Ebony should tie the two ends of the handkerchief that are not along the folded edge.
