Have them look at the example carefully
before moving on to the problems. A cow is tied to a fence by a 3 m-long rope. The cow cannot go inside the
fence. What is the area of the land that the cow can move around?
The problem is asking for the area that a cow
that is tied to a fence can move around in. 4m
The place where the cow is tied is the center
of the circle and the rope is the length of the 2m
radius. Draw a diagram to solve.

Since the rope is 3 m, the 3m
cow can move in the
space shown. Since the rope is 3 m long, it will reach over the corner of the side of the fence by 1 m.
This creates another area of a quarter circle with a radius of 1 m that the cow can move around.
