document.write( " Dan Perkin's goat is attached to the corner of the 14-foot-by-7-foot pump house by a 14-foot length of rope. The goat eats the grass around the pump house. This patter consists of three-fourths of a circle of a radius 14 feet and one-fourth of a circle of radius 7 feet. What area of grass can Dan Perkin's goat eat? (Use pi=3.14 as an approximate value)
\n" );
document.write( " I tried combining the two radius', and tried finding the areas separately then adding. I simply don't know how to write this equation out. Please help. \n" );
