Question

find the area of the shaded region where abcd is the square of side 12 cm and p,q,r,s are the midpoins of the corresponding sides of the square​

Answer 1

Answer:

72 sq. cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure if the shaded region is PQRS.

Area of ABCD square =

${12}^{2} = 144$

Since, PQRS are midpoints of ABCD square sides, if you connect P & R and Q & S, you will find 8 identical triangles of which 4 form the shaded portion.

Thus, area of shaded region PQRS = 144/2 = 72 sq. cm
