Summary:
Yemil needs a pen that will hold a specific area for beastberries. Make a pen that will has the given area. It does not matter what the perimeter is for this quest.
Recommendations:
This quest is the second step in the optimization sequence. In this case players build a fence with specific area regardless of the perimeter and how much fence they have to use up.
Learning Objectives:
- Make a geometric construction (geometric construction)
- Create a shape with a given area (area/perimeter calculations)
Tools:
Connecting Questions:
- How did you choose what side dimensions to use for your area?
- Have students discuss whether they think they could get the same area using less fence? This is prep for the next quest about optimizing area for minimal fence.
