mrs.blalock tied her goat with a 12-foot rope to a stake in the field.the goat ate a circular area around the stake with a radius the lenght of the rope.what was the area of grass eaten by the goat????
452.16ft
339.3
To find the area of grass eaten by the goat, we need to calculate the area of the circle with a radius equal to the length of the rope.
The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where A represents the area and r represents the radius.
In this case, the radius is equal to the length of the rope, which is 12 feet. Therefore, the equation becomes:
A = π(12)^2
To calculate the area, we can use the value of π, which is approximately 3.14. Plugging in the values, we have:
A = 3.14 * (12)^2
A = 3.14 * 144
A = 452.16 square feet
Therefore, the area of grass eaten by the goat is approximately 452.16 square feet.
A = pi * r^2
A = 3.14 * 144
A = ?
