Answer:
Given:
ABCD is a square of side 7cm.
A, B, C & D are the centres of four equal circles each touching two other, externally.
To find:
The area of the entire figure.
Solution:
AB,BC,CD & AD are the distances between the respective centres.
Since ABCD is a square, all angles are right angles and
AB=BC=CD=AD=7cm.
Now the distance between the centres of two circles touching externally, is the sum of their radii.
Here, the radii of the equal circles=

cm=3.5cm.
Each circle has been cropped by a sector of central angle =90

.
∴ A(Cropped cirle) = A(circle) − A(sector)
=π(3.5)

Also, A(square) =7×7cm

So, Area of the entire figure= A(4 equal circles)+A(square)
=(115.5+49)cm

=164.5cm
