I did a VERY rough calculation on the MCG. The 50m arc isn't a perfect circle, so i basically took the length (50m) and the height (which i worked out to be about 87.5), split the difference (68.75), and then used my old mate Pi to get 3712m².
No idea if that's in the ballpark, or if i'm even on the right track. But it's as good as it gets from me.
I've always wondered if the 50 metre line is straight when parallel to the goal line?Yes, some pretty horrible integration that I probably could've done when I was at uni 7 years ago but have long since forgotten.
It's the area between a 50m radius circle centred on the goalline centre and an ellipse with an equation that varies depending on the ground. Horrible.

Ok, I didn't know whether it was from the centre of the goal line or to the closest part of the goal line.
Is that a trick question?
It is supposed to be a 50 metre arc from the centre of the goal line.

Thanks.
It doesn't really go in to specifics, so your assumption may hold true at times. However, this would make the drawing of an arc a much more complex exercise when instituting a sliding point across a 19.2 metre goal line.The following areas shall be marked on the Playing Surface:
(f) "a Fifty-Metre Arc at each end of the Playing Surface."
Trust me with an executable?

3248 sq metres, for an arc which is equal to the oval's own elliptic dimension.
Except the goal line isnt curved, its straight.
