Solve.Elaine has a grassy patch of land on her farm that is a rectangle measuring 20 feet by 50 feet. So her goat can eat grass while Elaine is busy with other farm work, she drove two posts into the ground and fastened a rope to each post, passing the rope through a metal ring on the goat's collar.
