Question

John's dog Fido is tied to a post in his backyard. Fido's leash is 8.5 feet long. Determine how much circular roaming area Fido has in the backyard to the nearest square foot. (Use 3.14 to represent π)

Answer 1

227 ft^2

Explanation:

Here, we are tasked with calculating the roaming area that Fido has

Calculating this is same as calculating the area of circle that has a radius which is equal to the length of the leash

Mathematically, the area would be

A = π * r^2

A = 3.14 * 8.5^2

A = 226.865 ft^2

To the nearest square foot, this is 227 ft^2
