Tucker formed an **isosceles triangle**.
Here's why: The two yardsticks touch at one end, which means they form the two equal sides of the triangle. The 1-foot ruler connects the other two ends, serving as the base of the triangle. Since the yardsticks can be of equal length (3 feet each) and connect at one end, they create an isosceles triangle where the two sides (the yardsticks) are equal in length.
