A 12 ft. rope is attached to the wall of a garage. A dog’s collar is attached to the end of the rope to allow him to safely stay outside. What is the area of the space the dog will have access to outside?

Since it's a wall, I'm guessing it will only have access to half the circle? Therefore:

Circle area formula: πr²

Radius: 12/2 = 6ft

Our case:

(π * 6²)/2 =

36π/2 =

18π = 56.55ft²
