Solution
(i)
Area of the shaded portion
= Area of the rectangle PQRS – Area of square ABCD
= 3.2 x 1.8 – (1.4)2 (∵ PQ = 3.2 and PS = 1.8) Side of square AB = 1.4
= 5.76 – 1.96 = 3.80 = 3.8 m2
(ii)
Area of the shaded portion = Area of square ABCD – Area of rectangle PQRS
= 6 x 6 – (3.6) (4.8) = 36 – 17.28 = 18.72 m2
