    Area of circle - Area of square = Pi * Rdog * Rdog - side * side = Pi * 20 * 20 - 10 * 10 = (4Pi - 1)* 100 ~= 11.56 * 100 ~= 1156 ?

            What's the area of the house (the actual building within the fence)? Without knowing that, you cannot calculate the area the dog can walk in. Oops - sorry. I thought the dog was tied inside the fence.

                  The length of the leash is 20 m. So the area is the sum of 3 half circles of radius 20m, 15m and 5m. Think about how the leash wraps around the house as the god walks around it.

                    Total area dog can walk in = (Pi * 20 * 20)/2 + (Pi * 15 * 15)/2 + (Pi * 5 * 5)/2 = Pi/2 * (400 + 225 + 25) = Pi * 325 = approx 1020.5

                        Assuming that the dog cannot cross the fence. The dog will walk in an area like the following: dog.png (1.1 Kb) The area = 2 * area of rectangles + Area of the 1/6 the circle = 2 * 0.5 * 5 * sqrt(75) + 1/6 * pi * 100 Where did I go wrong?

                                          Assuming that the dog cannot cross the fence. The dog will walk in an area like the following: dog.png (1.1 Kb) The area = 2 * area of rectangles + Area of the 1/6 the circle = 2 * 0.5 * 5 * sqrt(75) + 1/6 * pi * 100 Where did I go wrong?

                                          It is not like this, in fact it will move in a circles (Quarters) with radii 20, 15, and 5, then adding them and multiplying by 2 (Because it can go from the 2 sides) will give the solution, which is 325*PIm as Andy and Nish said.
