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.

Given:

Side of square = 14 cm


Let the radius of each circle be ‘r’ cm


Then, 2r + 2r = 14 cm


4r = 14 cm


r = =


Area of square = side × side = 14 × 14 = 196 cm2


Area of circle = πr2


Area of 4 circles = 4 × πr2


= 4 × × ×


= 22 × 7 = 154 cm2


Area of shaded region = Area of square – Area of 4 circles


= 196 -154 = 42 cm2


Hence, the area of shaded region is 42 cm2.
