Two ranchers shared a circular corral of 10-meter radius. One rancher wanted to tie his horse to one point on the fence and allow him to graze on just half the area of the corral. How long should the horse's rope be to make the portion available to this horse be equal to half the area of the corral?

Victor,
Aren't you assuming that the horses grzing area will be a circle. THis can't be if he's tied to a fence post in a round corral.
If I'm misnderstanding what you are saying, then forgive me.
