Each path is actually one-fourth of the circle it follows. Let 2s
represent the length of the side of the square. The radius of each circle
is s. So the circumference of each circle is C = 2pr = 2ps. Thus,
each dog travels a distance of d = (2ps)/4 = ps/2 .
Each dog begins his journey at the corners of the square. So each dog
begins at the intersection of a vertex and a diagonal. The path of each
dog doesn't cross the diagonals again until they meet in the middle of the
square.
