Q.
In the given figure, PQRS is a square of diagonal 72cm. With P as centre and PQ as radius, the arc QS is drawn. Find the area of the shaded region (in cm2 ).
Diagonal of the square =72cm ⇒ Side =272=7cm
(Area of the shaded region) = (Area of the square) - (Area of the sector PQS) =72−360∘90∘×722×(7)2=221cm2
