Question

In the adjoining figure, PQRS is a square of side 3cm and ABCD is also a square. If the uniform width of the shaded portion is 2cm, find the area of the shaded portion.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is given by,

${side}^{2} = area \: of \: a \: square$

Area of PQRS,

${2}^{2} = 4 \: {cm}^{2}$

Area of ABCD,

${3}^{2} = 9 \: {cm}^{2}$

Area of shaded region = Area of ABCD - Area of PQRS..

By substituting the values in the above equation..

$9 - 6 = 3 \: {cm}^{2}$
