The goat is tied with a 40 ft rope to circular silo with radius 10 ft. How much grazing area does he have?

OpenStudy (ahsome):

Could you draw a diagram, @geerky42 ?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Give me minute

OpenStudy (ahsome):

what class is this precalculus?

geerky42 (geerky42):

I am in calculus, but I kind of came up with this problem, because I am curious, but I am stuck already ha.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

college calculus?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im stuck doing rates of change i dont think i can help you there

geerky42 (geerky42):

That's fine, this problem is tough, apparently.

geerky42 (geerky42):

especially finding this small area that overlap...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um you came up with a problem you dont know the solution to?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Yeah...?

OpenStudy (ahsome):

Wait a sec

geerky42 (geerky42):

I don't really came up. I was somewhere on internet where goat is tied to rectangular building, which is easy problem. I was wondering about if building is circle.

geerky42 (geerky42):

Wait a sec what? @Ahsome

OpenStudy (ahsome):

I am trying to figure it out ;) What is \(A_1,A_2\) I can't see from the picture

geerky42 (geerky42):

I divided area into two areas. \(A_1\) is just semicircle, which is easy. The remaining area is \(A_2\). I don't really know where to start for this area...

OpenStudy (ahsome):

Semicircle? Where is that? This is what I see|dw:1411437528910:dw|

geerky42 (geerky42):

|dw:1411437562321:dw|

OpenStudy (ahsome):

So what is: \[A_1\] \[A_2\] The inside circle on the right? Where is the 40ft rope with 10ft Radius? I am CONFUSED

geerky42 (geerky42):

That circle is basically like tower, something goat cannot get in. Goat is tied to this point:|dw:1411437745293:dw| He is tied with 40ft rope.
