Question

Zoe the goat is tied by a rope to one corner of a 15 by 25 meter rectangular barn in the middle of a large, grassy field. Over what area of the field can Zoe graze if the rope is 10 meters

Answer 1

Answer: $78.55\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The goat is tied by a rope to one corner of a rectangular field with length of rope 10 m.

Zoe can graze in an area equal to quadrant of circle with radius 10 m

Area of grazing is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{4}\times \pi r^2\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\pi r^2}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\pi \times 10^2}{4}=78.55\ m^2$
