A cow is tied with a rope of length

    \[14\]

m at the corner of a rectangular field of dimensions

    \[20m\times 16m\]

. Find the area of the field in which the cow can graze.

Let us consider ABCD be a rectangular field.

Given, Length of the field =

    \[20\]

m

Given, Breadth of the field =

    \[16\]

m

From the given question,

A cow is tied with a rope at a point A.

Let us consider length of rope be AE =

    \[14\]

m = l.

We know that Angle subtended at the centre of the sector =

    \[{{90}^{\circ }}\]

Now for Angle subtended at the center (in radians)

    \[\theta \]

=

    \[90\pi /180\]

=

    \[\pi /2\]

∴ Area of a sector of a circle =

    \[\frac{1}{2}{{r}^{2}}\theta \]

=

    \[\frac{1}{2}\times {{(14)}^{2}}\times (\pi /2)\]

=  

    \[154\]

    \[{{m}^{2}}\]

Therefore, the area of the field in which cow can graze is

    \[154\]

    \[{{m}^{2}}\]
