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 ?

Well, if it's constrained to moving along the sides, then it doesn't create a closed container, it only follows the edges. So the area is 0. Marc

That sentence was only to let them get the string length, as when it moves along the sides and reach the other side at the midpoint, so the length is 20m.:)

Or did you mean one side of the square is 10m?
Yes, very sorry if it wasn't clear enough.

Avery very nice one. I like these things, please come up now with one like it if you have:cool::rose:
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
