ORIGINAL: P360onBugs you guys want a tough one. here one ive been working on for a while. lets say you have a circular fence with a radius of x. and you tie a horse with a rope to the perminter of the fence. how long must the rope be so he can eat exactly half of the circular lot. express your answer in terms of x(the radius of the circular lot) i cant figure this one out. it makes me mad. if it makes it easier lets say the radius of the lot is 100 foot. how long does the rope need to be? if the yard is a 100 foot circle. the rope has to be 29.32 feet long. give me something hard Well with the cow tied to one point on the outer edge of a circle with diameter of 100 and radius of 50, 29.32 feet doesn't even allow the cow to reach the middle. There is no way it could eat half the grass in the pen. your think about him eating half way accros..hes eating in a circle tied to the perimete of the fence if you give him 50 feet he will walk in a circle and eat i all. think of this way. when track runners start they start one ahead of the other but the run the same distance. becase the outer line would be longer if they started side by side. ok if the radius is 50 foot, off the top of your head you say he needs 25 foot rope to walk around and eat hald of it. but eh outer 25 contains more area than the inner 25 foot. i told yall i can explain this stuff
