According to ancient legend, Dido made a deal with a local ruler to obtain as much land as she could cover with an oxhide. Dido interpreted "cover" in an imaginative way and the land she obtained became the site of the important ancient city of Carthage (located in modern-day Tunisia). The goal of this task is to interpret the mathematics behind this famous story from ancient mythology, giving rise to linear and quadratic expressions which model the story. Aligns with HSF-LE.A.
