A drone is tethered to a fixed landing pad and can fly within a maximum circular boundary with an area of 400π400\pi square meters. If a safety protocol requires the tether to be shortened by 88 meters, what is the maximum area of the new circular flight boundary?

Cevap

The new flight boundary has an area of 144π square meters144\pi \text{ square meters}.
The initial area of 400π400\pi square meters indicates the original tether length (radius) was 2020 meters, because πr2=400π\pi r^2 = 400\pi. Shortening the tether by 88 meters results in a new radius of 1212 meters. The new area is calculated by squaring the new radius and multiplying by π\pi, yielding π(12)2=144π\pi(12)^2 = 144\pi square meters.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Find the original radius using the area formula A=πr2A = \pi r^2.
400π=πr2400\pi = \pi r^2, so r2=400r^2 = 400, which means r=20r = 20 meters.
The original tether length represents the radius of the circular boundary.
2
Calculate the new radius by subtracting 88 meters.
20−8=1220 - 8 = 12 meters.
The safety protocol shortens the tether, directly reducing the flight radius.
3
Calculate the area of the new circular boundary.
A=π(12)2=144π square metersA = \pi(12)^2 = 144\pi \text{ square meters}.
The problem asks for the maximum area of the new boundary.
