Explanation:

Step1: Recall rhombus definition

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all four sides of equal length.

Step2: Analyze given side lengths

The wood pieces have lengths 5 inches, 5 inches, 3 inches, and 3 inches. So, two sides are 5 inches and two are 3 inches (not all four equal).

Answer:

No, because a rhombus requires all four sides to be of equal length, but Sally's wood pieces have two sides of 5 inches and two sides of 3 inches (not all four sides equal).
