Q) A horse is tied to a peg at one corner of a square shaped
grass field of side 15 m by means of a 5 m long rope. Find:
a) The area of that part of the field in which the horse can graze
b) The increase in the grazing area if the rope were 10 m long
instead of 5 m
Use [ π = 3.14]
Given: Side of a square = 15m
Length of the rope = 5 m
To Find:
a) Area of that part of the field in which
the horse can graze.
b) Increase in the grazing area if 10 m
long rope is used

Solution: a) Let ABCD represent the square shaped grass field
of side 15 m.
Let D be the corner to which the horse is tethered and let DP
(= 5m) be the rope by which it is tied.
Area of the part of the field over
which the horse can graze = Area
of quadrant DPQ
Thus, radius r (= 5m) and
sector angle θ (= 90⁰)
