A rectangular barn measuring 14 feet b 10 feet is located in one corder of a fenced area. Robert ties his cow to the corner of t
he barn so the animal can graze anywhere within the circular area outside the barn and fence. If the cow is tied with a 24 ft rope, approximately how much grazing area does the cow have?
For this problem you would be solving for the area of 3/4 of a circle with the radius being 24ft. So area of a circle is a= PI R squared so plug in 3.14(24)squared order of operations says to square first so 24 squared is 576. Then PI or 3.14 times 576 equals 1808.64 Now because it is only 3/4 of a circle you wil multiply the answer by 3/4 which is 1,356.48 ft. So the Cow has 1,356.48 Ft of grazing area.
For these fractions, you need to find a number that can divide the numerator and denominator by the same number. It needs to be simplified down till it can't be simplified any more.
