Dog’s Play Area

In this task, students respond to a geometry problem in which a girl is attempting to find the optimal location to tether her dog so that the dog doesn't dig in the garden, but without reducing the play area for the animal.

Students are given a number of measurements and constraints and asked to use mathematical reasoning to solve and display a solution to the problem.
