Question

In the given figure, find the area of the shaded region, where ABCD is a square of side 14 cm and all circles are of the same diameter.

Answer 1

Area of the square  = Side²  = 14² = 196 sq.cm

Area of the circles `= 4xxpixx3.5xx3.5=154  "sq". "cm"`

Area of the shaded region = Area of the square -- Area of four circles

= 196 -154

= 42 cm²
