Question: in the given figure abcd is a rectangle and pqrs is a square find the area of shaded region?
Answer: ABCD is a rectangle and EB = GE, hence, GCBE is also a rectangle and BG and CE are the diagonals of rectangle GCBE. Again, ADGE is also a rectangle and area of the shaded region in ADGE = 0.5 × 8 × 10 = 40 cm². So, the total area of the shaded region = 45 + 40 = 95 cm².
