Question

The given figure is composed of four congruent trapezium arranged around a shaded square.What is the area of the shaded square?

Answer 1

Solution :-

Given - All the four trapezium are congruent and are arranged around a shaded square.

Also given -

Length of one of the parallel sides of trapezium = 10 cm

And, distance (height) between the two parallel sides of the given trapezium = 2 cm

So, length of each side of the shaded square = 10 cm - (2 cm + 2 cm)

= 10 cm - 4 cm

= 6 cm

So, length of each side of the shaded square is 6 cm

Then, 

The area of the square = Side*Side

⇒ 6*6

= 36 sq cm

Hence, the area of the shaded square is 36 sq cm.

Answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

10cm - (2+2)

10 cm - 4 cm

6 cm
