  1. The circles drawn taking A, B, C and D form quadrants of radius 7 cm in square.
    Radius of each quadrant = 7 cm
    Area of each quadrant
    = 90°/360° × πr² = 1/4 × π(7)²
    = 1/4 × 22/7 × 7 × 7 = 77/2 cm²
    Area of square = (Side)² = (14)² = 196 cm²
    Area of shaded region = Area of square – Area of 4 quadrants
    = 196 – 4 × 77/2 = 196- 154 = 42 cm²

    Here is the Video explanation 😀👇
