Question 1173081: Different animals have different fields of view. Humans can generally see a 180° arc in front of them. Horses can see a 215° arc. A horse and rider are in place which is experiencing heavy fog, so they can see for only 10 yards in any direction.
a. Find the area of the rider's field of view.
b. Find the area of the horse's field of view.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The radius is 10 yds
the circle around the human has area π*r^2=100 π yd^2
Half of it is visible, so that is 50 π yd^2.
---
for a horse it is 215/360 or 0.5972 of the total area or 59.72 π yd^2.
