Think of other shapes Robinson’s goat can graze without a wolf, or with a wolf tied nearby. What if Robinson managed to tame several wolves and used them as guard dogs? Can two tied wolves keep an untied goat in a triangle? Can you think of other shapes you can create with Robinson’s goat and wolves?
Without using any wolves, show that Robinson’s goat can only graze shapes that are convex (that means, whenever you pick two points inside the shape, the whole line between them also lies inside). But if Robinson is allowed to use as many wolves as he likes, this restriction disappears. Show that in this case, he can make the goat graze in the shape of any polygon at all.
