Open in App
Solution

Area of the square =side × side=153.76 cm2
side = 12.4 cm
[Formula]

Area of the shaded region APQCRS = area of the square ABCD - area of the triangle PBQ - area of the triangle DSR

Area of the triangle PBQ=12×(6.20×6.20)=19.22 cm2
[Since P and Q are the mid-points of the sides AB and BC]

Area of the triangle DSR=12×(6.20×6.20)=19.22 cm2
[Since S and R are the mid-points of the sides AD and DC]

So, Area of the shaded region =153.7619.2219.22=115.32 cm2
[Substitute and simplify]
