When Leona argues that the high price doesn't make sense, she is told that a road has three dimensions. It would take 23 dump trucks to cart off the dirt before any gravel could be laid down.

They telephone Leona with what appears to be bad news: It's true that the boundary line was five chains south of "the northernmost granite rock." Given that information, Leona sets out to calculate the area of the farm. But there's something that doesn't add up–unless Roy Singleton measured from the wrong rock. Sure enough, Leona and her brother Paul scout around and, in the presence of Roy Singleton, find the northernmost granite rock.
Lesson 1 from Math Wise a program that teaches mathematics as a means to practical ends. The program shows how math applies to problem-solving in the everyday world and aim to help students to use math skills in their own lives. Los Angeles television personality Stephanie Edwards is the program's host. In this episode a Dallas-type plot pits big-business baron Roy Singleton with a young farm family, the Nobles. For quite a while, Singleton has tried to take their property, and now he seems to have found the answer. The old deed set the property line "five chains from the northernmost granite rock." Singleton and his surveyors have measured, and decided that the property line should be 100 meters south. Were this to be true, the Noble family would lose their only access road. In confidence, Mr. Noble decides that, if the property line is where Singleton insists, maybe the solution would be to build another access road. Paul and Leona, the youngest of the Nobles, get a trundle wheel to accurately measure how long that road would be. But all along, Singleton is watching them–and plotting.
