How do you solve this? Without going into anything to complicated as this should be Year 10 maths

Given : ABCD is a square with each side 5cm .

To Find : The area of the shaded region .

Solution : On observing the figure we can see two quadrants , quadrant ADC & quadrant ABC .

If we join A to C , then it will be common for triangles ADC & ABC . And they will be congruent by SSS congruence condition.

Therefore the area of both quadrants will also be equal . Now we can find area of quadrant as ;

Here radius will be equal to 5cm .

⇒ Area = πr² / 4 .

⇒ Area = π (5cm)² / 4 .

⇒ Area = 22/7 × 25 × 4 cm².

⇒ Area = 19.64 cm² .

So , total area of both quadrants = 39.28 cm² .

Also , area of square will be :

⇒ Area = 5cm × 5cm .

⇒ Area = 25 cm².

Now , subtract area of one quadrant from the area of square = 25cm² - 19.64 cm² = 5.36 cm².

Similarly area of other white region = 5.36cm² .

And the areas sum will be = 5.36cm² × 2 = 10.72cm² .

Now , from the figure it's clear that ,

⇒ Area of unshaded region + Area of shaded region = 25cm².

⇒ 10.72cm² + ar( Shaded region ) = 25cm².

⇒ ar ( Shaded region ) = 25cm² - 10.72cm².

⇒ ar ( Shaded region ) = 14.28 cm².

Hence the area of shaded region is 14.28 cm².

the answer is:

the lateral area is equal to

to find the lateral area of the square pyramid, first we need to find the perimeter of the base, and then, find the lateral area using the following formulas:

where,

s, is the base length

slant height, is the height of a the side of the pyramid

we are given:

now, calculating the perimeter of the base, we have:

then, calculating the lateral area:

hence, we have that the lateral area is equal to
