A horse is tied to a pole with 28 m long string. Find the area where the horse can graze. (Take $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$)

Given:

A horse is tied to a pole with 28 m long string.

To do:

We have to find the area where the horse can graze.

Solution:

The area horse can graze $=$ Area formed by the string as the radius.

This implies,

Radius of the circle $=$ Length of the string $=28\ m$.

We know that,

Area of a circle of radius $r=\pi r^2$

Therefore,

Area of the circle $=\frac{22}{7} \times(28)^{2} \mathrm{m}^{2}$

$=22 \times 4 \times 28 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$

$=2464 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$

The area the horse can graze is $2464\ m^2$.
