Question

Part EWendell's dog, Jordan, was getting in his way as he worked in the backyard. So, Wendell chained him to apole. If the chain is 12 feet long, about how much area does Jordan have to walk around ?

Answer 1

Explanation

From the statement, we know that the dog chain is 12 ft long. So the dog can walk inside a circle with a radius r = 12 ft. The area of this circle is:

$A=\pi r^2=\pi(12ft)^2=144\pi ft^2\cong452.39ft^2.$Answer

The dog can walk around an area of 144π ft² or approximately 452.39 ft².
