Side of square = 14 cm

Four quadrants are included in the four sides of the square.

∴ Radius of the circles = 14/2 cm = 7 cm

Area of the square ABCD = 14= 196 cm2

Area of the quadrant = (πR2)/4 cm2 

= (22/7) × 72/4 cm2

= 77/2 cm2

Total area of the quadrant = 4×77/2 cm= 154cm2

Area of the shaded region = Area of the square ABCD – Area of the quadrant

= 196 cm– 154 cm2

= 42 cm2
