Solution
Area of each square = (10)2 cm2 = 100 cm2 ...[∵ Area of square = (Side)2]
Area of rectangular sheet = 100 × 80 cm2 = 8000 cm2 ...[∵ Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth]
Area of an isosceles right triangle = `1/2 xx 10 xx 10` = 50 cm2 ...[∵ Area of an isosceles right triangle = `1/2` × base × height]
∴ Area of remaining part of paper = 8000 – 4 × 100 – 50 = 7550 cm2
