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?

i'd be stupid and just say put a stake in the middle of the corral.....and then calculate the area...and then calculate the radius of the rope with half the area...then just tie it to the stake.. =0) but of course....it's not on one end of the fence.....
