Question:

Three horses are tethered at three corners of a triangular plot of sides $20\text{ m}, 30\text{ m}$ and $40\text{ m}$ with ropes of length $7\text{ m}$ each. Find the area of the plot which can be grazed by the horses.

Step-by-Step Solution

Key Concept: Sum of interior angles of triangle $= 180^\circ$. Total grazed area $= \text{Area of sector of angle } 180^\circ = \dfrac{180}{360} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 49 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 154 = 77\text{ m}^2$.
Sum of 3 corner sector angles $= A + B + C = 180^\circ$. [1.0 Mark]
Total Grazed Area $= \dfrac{180}{360} \times \pi r^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 49 = 77\text{ m}^2$. [2.0 Marks]
