Four equal circles are described about the four corners of a square of side 14 cm so that each touches two of the others. Find the area of the remaining part of the square.

A42 sq. cm
B154 sq. cm
C196 sq. cm
D84 sq. cm

✓ Correct Answer: A42 sq. cm

Remaining area = Area of square - Area of 4 quadrants (which make 1 circle). 14^2 - pi*7^2 = 196 - 154 = 42 sq. cm.
