Grassland and goat
An unfenced piece of grassland is a right triangle ABC with AB = 4 m, BC = 8 m, and AC as the hypotenuse. A goat is tied to a 5-metre rope with its stake at point O, which is 2 m from side AB and 2 m from the extension of side BC beyond corner B. Then:
1. How far is O from C in metres?
2. Determine the area within which the goat can graze inside the land ABC.
3. If the land were fenced along sides AB and BC, determine where the goat can graze inside the land ABC.
