Q8(ii):
A horse is tied to a peg at one corner of a square shaped grass field of side 15 m by means of a 5 m long rope (see Fig. 11.8). Find (ii) the increase in the grazing area if the rope were 10 m long instead of 5 m. (Use $\pi = 3.14$)
A horse is tied to a peg at one corner of a square shaped grass field of side 15 m by means of a 5 m long rope (see Fig. 11.8). Find (ii) the increase in the grazing area if the rope were 10 m long instead of 5 m. (Use $\pi = 3.14$)
Solution :
Given:
- A square-shaped grass field with side length $s = 15\text{ m}$.
- A horse is tied to a peg at one corner.
- Initial rope length $r_1 = 5\text{ m}$.
- Increased rope length $r_2 = 10\text{ m}$.
- Value of $\pi = 3.14$.
To Find:
The increase in the grazing area if the rope length is increased from $5\text{ m}$ to $10\text{ m}$.
Step 1: Understanding the Geometry of Grazing
Since the horse is tied to a corner of a square field, the area it can graze is a sector of a circle with radius $r$ and a central angle $\theta = 90^\circ$ (the angle of a square corner). The formula for the area of a sector is:
$\text{Area} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2$
[Since $\theta = 90^\circ$, the area simplifies to $\frac{90}{360} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{1}{4} \pi r^2$]
Step 2: Calculating the Initial Grazing Area ($A_1$)
Given $r_1 = 5\text{ m}$:
$A_1 = \frac{1}{4} \times 3.14 \times (5)^2$
$A_1 = \frac{1}{4} \times 3.14 \times 25$
$A_1 = \frac{78.5}{4} = 19.625\text{ m}^2$
Step 3: Calculating the New Grazing Area ($A_2$)
Given $r_2 = 10\text{ m}$:
$A_2 = \frac{1}{4} \times 3.14 \times (10)^2$
$A_2 = \frac{1}{4} \times 3.14 \times 100$
$A_2 = \frac{314}{4} = 78.5\text{ m}^2$
Step 4: Calculating the Increase in Grazing Area
The increase in area is the difference between the new area and the initial area:
$\text{Increase} = A_2 - A_1$
$\text{Increase} = 78.5 - 19.625$
$\text{Increase} = 58.875\text{ m}^2$
Final Answer: The increase in the grazing area is 58.875 m².
