\((\frac{10-\sqrt{2}}{2})^2\) is the area of the shaded reigon

Angle DAN = arctan( 10/20 ) = 26.565º

 

AP = PS = PQ = cos (26.565º) * 10 = 8.94427191

 

The area of a square PQRS = PS * PQ = 80 cm2   smiley

we find that the triangles made with 2 pieces is the same area as the square so the area is (10*2)^2/5=20^2/5=400/5=80
