Question 1050269: A goat is tied outside the fence of a 5-m diameter circular garden using a 3-m rope. One end of the rope is tied to the collar around the neck of the goat and the other s attached to the fence at the point which is at the level as the goat's collar (the goat can move anywhere within 3 meters from the outside of the circular fence). Find the area by which the goat can move around by integration.

The red circle is the circular garden.
The purple circle is the 3m radius from the edge of the circular garden fence.
The equations of the two circles are,

1.

To find the intersection points substitute from eq. 1 into eq. 2,

So,

So then integrate to get the sliver area (shown in green),
the limits of integration would be and .

<-- Obtained numerically
Double that plus half of the area of the large circle will be the complete area that the goat can graze,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once you got the intersection points for two circles (in the solution of the other tutor),
the remaining part is to subtract the areas of two segments of the circle from the area of the larger circle.

You do not need to calculate integrals.

You need to know the formula for the area of a segment of a circle.
