- Area of the shaded part of the overlapping region is 34 sq cm
To start with, we are told that the two shapes are squares. This means that they have the same length and breadth. From the diagram, we can see that one of the sides of the squares is 17 cm. This means that the squares are a square of 17cm in length.
If the original length is 17, and the overlapped length of the figure we have is 30 cm. Then we can say that since there exist 2 squares, 30/2 = 15 cm. If the overlapped length is 15 cm, this means that the part that is shaded is 2 cm in length.
Applying area of a rectangle formula
- length * breadth = 17 * 2 = 24 cm²
