Answer:
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of cage is 90 feet by 40 feet.
Length of rope [tex]=40\sqrt{2}[/tex] foot
It is clear that, length of rope is greater than one side of cage and raw a line which divides the cage in two parts as shown in below figure.
We need to find the shaded area.
By Pythagoras theorem:
[tex]hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2[/tex]
[tex](40\sqrt{2})^2=(40)^2+perpendicular^2[/tex]
[tex]3200=1600+perpendicular^2[/tex]
[tex]3200-1600=perpendicular^2[/tex]
[tex]1600=perpendicular^2[/tex]
[tex]40=perpendicular[/tex]
So, it is a square.
From the figure it is clear that the shaded area contains 1/8th part of circle are half part of square.
Area of circle is
[tex]A_1=\pi r^2[/tex]
[tex]A_1=\pi (40\sqrt{2})^2[/tex]
[tex]A_1=3200\pi[/tex]
Area of square is
[tex]A_2=a^2[/tex]
[tex]A_2=(40)^2[/tex]
[tex]A_2=1600[/tex]
Area of shaded portion is
[tex]A=\dfrac{A_1}{8}+\dfrac{A_2}{2}[/tex]
[tex]A=\dfrac{3200\pi}{8}+\dfrac{1600}{2}[/tex]
[tex]A=400\pi+800[/tex]
[tex]A=400(\pi+2)[/tex]
The required area is [tex]400(\pi+2)[/tex] sq. ft.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
