1000.31 – Tents Among Four Trees


Four trees form a square in the middle of an open space in a wild forest. Max and his rumpus friends made camp and pitched a square tent that fit exactly among the four trees. A few days later, after Max’s party had packed up and left, Karen and her crew arrived; they pitched a square tent that also fit exactly among the four trees. The only difference was that Karen's tent had twice the floor area of Max's tent. Draw a picture to show how this was possible.
