5. Fido's doghouse, which is flush to the center of one side of his master's house, is in the shape of a square with a side six feet. Fido is kept attached to a chain of twelve feet length, the other end of which is attached to a corner of the doghouse not against the master's house. If Fido's freedom of movement is limited only by the chain, the doghouse, and the master's house, what is the number of square feet that Fido has in his domain? (Do not count the interior of the doghouse as part of Fido's domain.)
