Given:
ABCD is a square of side 14 cm. With centres A, B, C and D, four circles are drawn such that each circle touch externally two of the remaining three circles.
To do:
We have to find the area of the shaded region.
Solution:
Length of the side of the square $ABCD= 14\ cm$
This implies,
Radius of each of the circle $r= 7\ cm$
Therefore,
Area of the shaded region $=$ Area of the square $-$ Area of four quadrants inside the square
$=(14)^{2}-4 \times \frac{1}{4} \pi 7^{2}$
$=(14)^{2}-\frac{22}{7} \times 7^2$
$=196-154$
$=42 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
The area of the shaded region is $42\ cm^2$.
