Intelligent Guessing & Testing: Problem Solving Strategy 10

Bernie has 40 yards of 6-ft high cyclone fence and wants to build two separate chicken coops enclosing a total area of 58 square yards. How much fence does he need for each pen if Bernie wants the coops to have square bases?

These short videos are meant for instructors or students wishing to give a practical framework to problem-solving. We first introduce a three-step process: Understanding, Strategizing, and Implementing. We then present 10 strategies (Posamentier & Krulik, 2015) and explain each of them individually in separate videos.
