Time for MATH MINUTE! (provide your favorite theme music here). 

       Get out your paper & pencil because I have a new puzzle for you!!


PUZZLE #32  Goats are good.             Sept. 3-7

 

       You have a grassy yard which is hard to cut and you hear that goats like this kind of grass.

       Voila! Buy a goat!

       So you buy a goat and build a 3ft. by 4ft. shelter for it.

       You put the shelter in the center of your yard, and you put the goat on a 7ft. rope.

       How much area will the goat eat if the other end of the rope is attached to a corner of the shelter?
