You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The area is a circle with radius 7 minus one quadrant,
or 1/4 of the circle. This is 3/4 of the whole circle
+%283%2F4%29%2Api%2A7%5E2+
+%283%2F4%29%2Api%2A49+=+115.43+ m2
Note that the plot just has to have a side longer than
the rope- it doesn't enter into the calculations
