Answer
Given, length of each side of square = 20 cm.
We know that,
Length of diagonal of a square = side = cm.
∴ OB = cm.
From figure,
OB is the radius of the quadrant OPBQ.
Area of quadrant OPBQ =
Area of square OABC = (side)2
= (20)2 = 400 cm2.
Area of shaded region = Area of quadrant OPBQ - Area of square OABC
= 628 - 400
= 228 cm2.
Hence, area of shaded region = 228 cm2.
