DOG A dog is leashed to the corner of a house. How much running area does the dog have? Explain how you found your answer.
1 answer:
Answer:
The area will be where r is the length of the leash.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a circle is pi times the radius squared. One forth of that area is not available for the dog to run: its the corner of the house. so what's left is 3/4 of the area of the circle. (3/4)πr²
Since the length of the leash is not given in the question, no specific Area can be answered. Once that value is substituted for r, the actual area can be calculated.

The area of a circle is represented by the equation:
We know that the diameter is two times the radius:
So if we know that the diameter of the circle is 24m, we can divide this by two in order to get the radius:
-->
So then we can plug this radius in to the equation for the area of a circle:
We are told to use 3.14 as pi, and not pi itself, so let's plug in 3.14 for pi:
Now we know that the area of this circle is 452.16 square meters.
