Puzzle of the day. A fence of a house is 10m length (square) At point d a dog is tied, it can't go inside the house, when it moves along the sides it reaches the point x (max), Where the point x, and d are a midpoints of there sides. Q : What is the area that the dog can move in ?

What's the area of the house (the actual building within the fence)? Without knowing that, you cannot calculate the area the dog can walk in. Oops - sorry. I thought the dog was tied inside the fence.

It is written in the puzzle.

Remember it can't go through it, it will only stick around the wall.

The length of the leash is 20 m. So the area is the sum of 3 half circles of radius 20m, 15m and 5m. Think about how the leash wraps around the house as the god walks around it.

Total area dog can walk in = (Pi * 20 * 20)/2 + (Pi * 15 * 15)/2 + (Pi * 5 * 5)/2 = Pi/2 * (400 + 225 + 25) = Pi * 325 = approx 1020.5

Assuming that the dog cannot cross the fence. The dog will walk in an area like the following: dog.png (1.1 Kb) The area = 2 * area of rectangles + Area of the 1/6 the circle = 2 * 0.5 * 5 * sqrt(75) + 1/6 * pi * 100 Where did I go wrong?

It is not like this, in fact it will move in a circles (Quarters) with radii 20, 15, and 5, then adding them and multiplying by 2 (Because it can go from the 2 sides) will give the solution, which is 325*PIm as Andy and Nish said.
