Question 1209174: A farmer has fenced off his housing area, which is shown in the diagram. There is a post at each of the points A and B, to which the farmer sometimes attaches a 36 m rope that is tied to his 16 m donkey. This provides the donkey with either one of two grazing areas outside the housing area. Find the difference in the areas available for grazing, in m2.

A farmer has fenced off his housing area, which is shown in the diagram. There is a post
at each of the points A and B, to which the farmer sometimes attaches a 36 m rope that is tied to his 16 m donkey.
This provides the donkey with either one of two grazing areas outside the housing area.
Find the difference in the areas available for grazing, in m2.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The post says that there is a diagram, which shows the housing area, but this diagram
is not shown in the post and is not attached to the post.

In other words, the post disinforms and does not provide a complete information.

Also, when I read "16 m donkey", I get scared. It returns me to the era of dinosaurs.

So, this post is a soup of words, with no sense, and the UNIQUE possible
reasonable reaction is to ignore it.

It's not clear what the diagram looks like.
Please provide a detailed description or provide an image of it.
Also the "16 m donkey" seems out of place. Perhaps the "16 m" shouldn't be there.
