Grazing goat problems Consider the following sequence of problems related to grazing goats tied to a rope. (See the Guided Project Grazing goat problems.)
59. A circular corral of unit radius is enclosed by a fence. A goat inside the corral is tied to the fence with a rope of length 0 ≤ a ≤ 2 (see figure). What is the area of the region (inside the corral) that the goat can graze? Check your answer with the special cases a = 0 and a = 2.
