clearly the cow will graze a circular field of area 9856 sq m and radius equal to the length of the rope.
Let the length of the rope be r mts then,
= 9856
= (9856 × 7) / 22 = 3136
r = 56 m
Original area = (22/7) x 9 x 9 cm2New area = (22/7) x 7 x 7 cm2? Decrease = 22/7 x [(9)2 -(7)2] cm2=(22/7) x 16 x 2 cm2Decrease percent = [(22/7 x 16 x 2) /( 7/22 x 9 x 9)] x 100 %= 39.5 %
