Answer: the area is 314 ft²

Explanation:

if the chain can move around the tree, then the path along which the dog can move is a circle whose radius is the length of the chain.

The formula for determining the area of a circle is expressed as

Area of circle = πr²

Where

r represents the radius of the circle.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

Therefore, the area that the dog has to play if the chain can move around the tree is

3.14 × 10² = 314 ft²
