Can you divide Farmer Giles' "L" shape barn into four rooms of equal size and shape? Watch for the solution.
Farmer Giles has an "L" shaped barn. The four shorter sides of the barn are all the same length, and the two longer sides are twice as long and are also the same length.
Farmer Giles keeps four cats in his barn to catch all the unwanted mice and rats. However, his cats are very antisocial and spend most of their time fighting each other.
Can you help him out by dividing his barn into four congruent rooms, one for each of his four cats?
SOLUTION
Farmer Giles needs to build a total six internal walls to divide his barn into four congruent rooms as shown in the video. All the shorter sides are the same length, and the longer sides are twice as long and are also the same length.
So problem solved and Farmer Giles and his four cats are now very happy.
