Each edge of the following square is 20 cm long, and a circle is inscribed in the square as shown. What is the area of the shaded region? [Use π = 3.14]

86 cm²

We know that,

Area of square = (side)² 

Area of Circle = πr² 

We have,

Diameter = 20 cm = Edge

Then, Radius = 10 cm

According to the question,

Area of shaded region = Area of Square - Area of Circle

= Area = (20)² - π(10)² 

= Area = 400 – (3.14) × 100

= Area = 400 – 314 = 86 cm²
