A goat is tied at one corner of a 12 feet by 16 feet barn. If the rope is 24 feet long, find the area of the region outside the barn, in which the goats can graze.

  1520.5 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

A diagram can be helpful.

The total area is the sum of ...

  3/4 of a circle with radius 24 ft

  1/4 of a circle with radius 12 ft

  1/4 of a circle with radius 8 feet

__

The area of a whole circle is given by ...

  A = πr²

so our grazing area is ...

  A = (3/4)π(24 ft)² + (1/4)π(12 ft)² + (1/4)π(8 ft)²

  = π(432 ft² +36 ft² +16 ft²) = 484π ft²

  A ≈ 1520.5 ft²

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
