Correct Answer: 94.5


Solution : Given that ABCD is a square of side 14 cm.
The area of the semicircle = $\frac{\pi r^2}{2}$ = $\frac{\pi (7)^2}{2}$ = 77 cm 2
Since the radius of the semicircle is equal to the diagonal of a smaller square.
The diagonal of a square = 7 cm
The side of a smaller square = $\frac{7}{\sqrt2}$ cm
The area of a smaller square = $\frac{49}{2}$ cm 2
The area of a bigger square = 14 2 = 196 cm 2
The area of the shaded region = The area of a bigger square – The area of a smaller square – The area of the semicircle
The area of the shaded region = 196 – 77 – $\frac{49}{2}$ = 94.5 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 94.5.
