        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.

                    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 ?

                      d

                        Awww, I took it to mean the fence was 10m in length, and took one side to be 2.5m. Otherwise, I think I would have beaten Nish Bot and Andy. :(

                            Here is one "like" yours A man placed 4 stepping stones one foot square in a row, in a section of his garden so that there were equal spaces on all four sides of each of the stones. What possible dimension, the section can have ? Keep rolling and, talking about stepping stones - "Mistakes are stepping stones to success.” oops... was that a hint ?

                                    That's why I hated math word problems in school. Because in my mind, "moving along the sides" means just that. It constrains to movement to the sides! Marc

                                        Awww, I took it to mean the fence was 10m in length, and took one side to be 2.5m. Otherwise, I think I would have beaten Nish Bot and Andy. :(
