    Question

    A cow is tied with a 7 m long rope at each corner of a triangular field with sides of 26 m, 28 m and 30 m. Accordingly, how much m² will be the area of the field left by the grazing of those three cows?

    A.

    336

    B.

    259

    C.

    154

    D.

    77

    Correct option is B

    Given
    Triangle sides: 26, 28, 30 m.
    Rope length (r) = 7 m.

    Solution
    Area of Triangle (Heron's Formula):

    s=26+28+302=42 Area=42(4226)(4228)(4230)=42×16×14×12=336 m2s = \frac{26+28+30}{2} = 42\\\ \\Area = \sqrt{42(42-26)(42-28)(42-30)} = \sqrt{42 \times 16 \times 14 \times 12} = 336 \text{ m}^2​​

    Grazed Area = Area of 3 sectors with angles A, B, C.
    Total angle=180 Area=180360×πr2=12×227×7×7=77 m2 Ungrazed Area=33677=259 m2Total\ angle = 180^{\circ}\\\ \\Area = \frac{180}{360} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 = 77 \text{ m}^2\\\ \\Ungrazed\ Area = 336 - 77 = 259 \text{ m}^2​​

    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (b)
