A goat is tied to one corner of a rectangular shed in a large field full of grass. The rope is 3 yards long and a plan view ( fr
om above ) of the shed and field is shown below ( shed = 4 yd height and 6 yd width )
Calculate the area of grass that the goat can eat. Show all your reasoning.
What length of the rope would enable the goat to eat 10 square yards of grass? Show all your reasoning
The farmer is going to leave the goat for a day and wants it to have access to an area of exactly 20 square yards of grass. How long should he make the rope
Set up an equation. This would be 4+0.5x=12. You have to get x by itself, so subtract 4 on each side. You get 0.5x=8. Divide by 0.5 on each side to get x=16. Heidi purchased 16 tickets.
