Question 546885: Joshua has tied his horse's rope to a post in a pasture so the horse can eat some grass. The portion of the rope between the horse and the post is 12 feet long. To the nearest whole number, What is the area of the circular region of the pasture where the horse will be able to graze? thank you Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The horse can go round the pole to a maximum distance of 12 feet.
It can go circular.
so 12 is the radius
Area it can graze = pi*r^2
Area = pi* 12^2
= 452 ft^2
