Answer:

58.9 ft²

Explanation:

The horse is constrained to 3/4 of a circle that has a 5 ft radius. Then the area is ...

A = (3/4)πr²

A = (3/4)π(5 ft)² = 75π/4 ft²

A ≈ 58.9 ft²

The horse has a maximum grazing area of 58.9 ft².

_____

In the real world, a 5 ft rope is awfully short. The grazing area would depend on how high on the barn it is tied, and where on the horse it is tied.
