ABSTRACT
In an old folk tale, a poor peasant is offered as much land as he can walk around from sunup to sundown. If you were given that offer, how much land could you claim? What shape would it be?
In order to answer these questions, you may want to: • Determine the length of a day from sunup to sundown. Is it
the same every day? At which time of year would you choose to make your walk?
