Question 118674: A goat is tethered in the middle of a grass field on a rope of length 3.7m.
a State the shape of the area the goat can graze
Circle
b Calculate the size of the grazing area (giving your answer correct to 2 decimal places)
Area = 3.142 x radius2
Area = 3.142 x 3.7
Area = 11.6254
Area = 11.63 [rounded to 2 decimal points]

c Give another example of when you might need to use _ (pi).

d Identify an activity to support your understanding of _ (pi).
Is answer to question a and b correct and can you please help me to solve the next two please.

A goat is tethered in the middle of a grass field on a rope of length 3.7m.
a State the shape of the area the goat can graze
Circle
b Calculate the size of the grazing area (giving your answer correct to 2 decimal places)
Area = 3.142 x radius2
Area = 3.142 x 3.7^2
Area = 3.142*13.69
Area = 43.0084 = 43.01 [rounded to 2 decimal points]
---------------------
c Give another example of when you might need to use _ (pi).
The circumference of the circle mentioned in part a is
C = pi*d where d is the diameter of the circle.
--------------------
d Identify an activity to support your understanding of _ (pi).
I'll leave that to you.
