Answer 1

The dog may be able to explore over 1256.6

Answer 2

Answer: The area of the region of dog able to explore is about 1257 square feet.

Explanation:

Given : A dog is leashed to point in the center of a large yard, so the area the dog is able to explore is circular.

i.e. Length of leash = Radius of the circular region of dog able to explore.

The length of leash = 20 feet

i.e. Radius = 20 feet

Formula : Area of circle =
`\pi (radius)^2`

`(22)/(7)(20)^2=(22)/(7)*400\\\\=1257.14285714\approx1257.1\text{ ft}^2`

Hence, the area of the region of dog able to explore is about 1257 square feet.
