Question 199348: A cow is tied to the long side of a barn 10 feet from the corner. The rope being used to tie the cow to the barn is 21 feet long. The barn measures 11 feet wide and 28 feet long, what is the total area of the space in which the cow can graze? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Draw yourself a scale picture to visualize this. You will have a 21 foot radius semi-circle, an 11 foot radius quarter circle, and a 3 foot radius quarter circle. Calculate the three areas and add them together to get the total area.
