- 22 m^2
AS horses are tethered at corners & adjacent horse can just reach one another,
so Area grazed by every horse will be 1/4 of the area formed by radius=(1/2)*side od a square plot
Area grazed=(1/4)*Pi*7^2=Pi*49/4
4 such areas=4(Pi*49/4)=(22/7)*49=154 m^2
Ungrazed Area=Total Area of square plot-(Area grazed+Area of pond)
=14^2-(154+20)=196-174=22 m^2
