Nitu has drawn a square ABCD of which length of each side as 12 cm. My sister has drawn four circular arcs with length of radius 6 cm. centering A, B, C, D like picture besides and she has designed some portion. Let us write by calculating the area of shaded region.

Given, each side of square = 12cm
⇒ Area of Square ABCD = side2
⇒ (12)2
⇒ 144cm2
Let Radius of each quadrant be r
⇒ r = 6 cm (given)
Now, the sum of the area of the four quadrants at the four corners of the square
⇒ 4 × area of each quadrant ( area of circle = πr2where r is the radius)
⇒ area of quadrant = ![]()
⇒![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ 113.14cm2
Now, area of shaded portion
= Area of square, ABCD - sum of the areas of four quadrants at the four corners of the square
⇒ 144 – 113 .14 cm2
= 30 .86 cm2
