Answer:

Area=38.48 meters squared

Explanation:

3.5m is the radius of the grazing circle and then you take the radius and solve for the area of the circle to get the answer

Answer: 38.48 m

A tether is attached by one end to the cow, the other to a fixed point.

That means that the rope is the radius, the tether is the middle. The maximum area the cow can graze is the area of a circle.

Using the formula πr², we can find the are.

3.14 x 3.5²= 38.48 m total
