Answer:

The dog has 1357.5 square feet of running space.

Explanation:

48 feet is the diameter of the circle in which the dog can run, minus 1/4 of the total circle (assuming the dog can not run through walls).

The formula of how to find the area of a circle is...

A = π r²

A stands for area, pi(π) is 3.14, and r means radius.

Radius is half of the diameter, so the radius would be 24 feet. Let's plug those numbers into the formula:

A = π x 24²

A = π x 576

A = 1809.56 square feet

Now, we have to subtract 1/4 of 1810 (rounded up).

1810 times 0.75 = 1357.5 feet.

I hope this helps you! :-)
