Answer is very simple

Consider triangle ABC

Let angle A be a
B be b
C be c

Area which can be grazed =sum of areas of the 3 sectors with angle a , b, c and r=7cm

Apply the formula of the sectors
THen take out the common i.e. 22/7 *r*r/360

sum of all the angles is 180

so a + b + c = 180

THen u can find out the area grazed
