Hi
 
Hi
Let me tell the questions :
Four dogs reside in four corner points of a square .
The side of square is 1 km
In first run , each dog will go the dog residing in right
and cover 1/2 km .
From second run , no dogs will change directions
and cover $\frac{1}{k}*sidelength $
 
"No dogs will change directions"?
 
Yeah
 
Don't they have to change directions to go to the new positions of the other dogs?
 
After covering $\frac{1}{k}*sidelength$ distance, they will change directions .
 
2:15 AM
And this is schoolwork?
 
no
I am a computer engineer
 
In ninth grade?
 
I have given this problem for solving
I have tried a lot
but faild to solve it
 
Oh, OK. So this was not actually meant for 9th graders?
 
Who gives me this problem is 9th grade school teacher
So i think this problem is for 9th grade students.
 
2:19 AM
Were you asked to show that the dogs end up in the center, or were you asked to calculate the total distance that the dogs travel?
(The answer, at the end, is: Yes, the dogs end up in the center, and the total distance ends up being infinite.)
 
Thank you .
