This is MaMo's solution (better than ours):

What about your solution, MaMo? Did you find another way?

[elgiovo]

This is our solution:

Me and my friend got the same result. I'm turning our solution into LaTeX, in order to submit it to the website you linked.

P.s. I have found a graze area of 109,0238..m^2.

To the lazy people who doesn't want to open the link, this is the problem.

A zebra is on one side of a long straight fence 2 meters high. The zebra is tethered to a rope 10 meters long that is fixed to a point at the base of the fence but on the side opposite from the zebra. What is the approximate area of the region that the zebra can graze?
