Side of the square = 4 cm
Radius of the circle = 1 cm
Four quadrant of a circle are cut from corner and one circle of radius is cut from middle.
Area of square
=(side)2=42=16 cm2
Area of the quadrant
=(πR2)4cm2=(227×12)4=1114cm2
∴ Total area of the 4 quadrants
=4×(1114)cm2=227cm2

Area of the circle
=πR2cm2=(227×12)=227cm2
Area of the shaded region = Area of square - (Area of the 4 quadrants + Area of the circle)
=16cm2−(227+227)cm2
=687cm2
