Question 24 (A) A horse, a cow and a goat are tied, each by ropes of length 14m, at the corners A, B and C respectively, of a grassy triangular field ABC with sides of lengths 35 m, 40 m and 50 m. Find the area of grass field that can be grazed by them. Here, the animals graze area of sectors
Area of grass grazed
= Area of Sector grazed by all three animals
Area of Sector grazed by all three animals
We know that
Area of sector = 𝜽/(𝟑𝟔𝟎°) × πr2
And radius = 14 m
Now,
Area of Sector at point A = (∠𝐴)/(360°) × πr2
Area of Sector at point B = (∠𝐵)/(360°) × πr2
Area of Sector at point C = (∠𝐶)/(360°) × πr2
Therefore,
Area of sector grazed by all 3 animals
= (∠𝑨)/(𝟑𝟔𝟎°) × πr2 + (∠𝑩)/(𝟑𝟔𝟎°) × πr2 + (∠𝑪)/(𝟑𝟔𝟎°) × πr2
= 1/(360°) × πr2 (∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C)
Since sum of angles of a triangle = 180°
= 1/(360°) × πr2 × 180°
= 𝟏/𝟐 × πr2
Putting r = 14 m
= 1/2 × 22/7 × (14)2
= 11/7 × 14 × 14
= 11 × 2 × 14
= 308 m2
