Welcome to Donut Packing!
Objective: Pack as many delicious donuts as
possible into your donut box while maximizing the total area!
How to Play:
-
You'll receive a quadrilateral donut box and a variety of donuts
-
Select a donut from your pile by clicking on it
- Position it using the arrow keys (↑↓←→)
- Rotate it using the < and > keys
-
Place donuts without overlapping each other or the box edges
-
Watch out for mice! They'll appear randomly and take bites out of
your donuts
- You can return donuts to your pile, but mice bites stay!
-
When done, click "Done Packing" and calculate your total area
Math Challenge:
Each donut shows its dimensions. Calculate the area using these
formulas:
- Circle: A = πr² (where r is radius)
- Square: A = s² (where s is side length)
-
Triangle: Use Heron's formula: A =
√[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] where s = (a+b+c)/2
-
Trapezoid: A = ½(b₁ + b₂)h (where b₁, b₂ are
bases and h is height)
-
Glazed Donut (ring): A = π(R² - r²) (outer radius
R, inner radius r)
Tips: Plan your packing strategy! Rotate and
position carefully to fit more donuts.
