Answer
View full question & answer→Let ABCD be a rectangular field of dimensions 20m × 16m.
Suppse, a cow is tied at a point A.
Let length of rope be AE = 14m = r(say).

$\therefore$ Area of the field in which the cow graze = Area of sector AFEG $=\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\times\pi\text{r}^2$
$=\frac{90}{360}\times\pi(14)^2$
[so, the angle between two adjacent sides of a recfangle is 90°]
$=\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{22}{7}\times196$
$=154\text{m}^2$
