The goat has 3/4 of a circle with radius 10 ft
to graze in
-----------------------
The whole circle is:
+A+=+pi%2Ar%5E2+
+A+=+pi%2A10%5E2+
+A+=+100pi+ ft2
------------------------
+%283%2F4%29%2AA+=+%283%2F4%29%2A100%2Api+
+%283%2F4%29%2AA+=+75%2Api+
+%283%2F4%29%2AA+=+235.62+
----------------------------
235.62 ft2 are available
