Question

Meg pounded a stake into the ground. When she attached a leash to both the stake and her dog’s collar, the dog could reach 9 feet from the stake in any direction. Using 3.14 for pi, what is the approximate area of the lawn, in square feet, the dog could reach from the stake.

Answer 1

The dog is able to run around in a circle with a radius of9 ft.

The area of a circle is A = pi r^2

A = (3.14) (9)^2

A= (3.14)(81)

A= 254.34 sq ft
