A square is drawn inside a square of side 14 cm in such a way that the corners of the inner square coincide with the mid points of the sides of the outer square. What is the area lying between the two squares?
- A. 98 square cm ✓
- B. 56 square cm
- C. 49 square cm
- D. 24.5 square cm
Correct Answer: A. 98 square cm
Explanation
The area of the outer square is 14^2 = 196 \text{ cm}^2. Connecting the midpoints of a square forms an inner square with exactly half the area, 98 \text{ cm}^2. The area between them is 196 - 98 = 98 \text{ cm}^2.
