A square paper of side 10 cm is folded sequentially and a circular cut of radius 1 cm is made at the corners as shown below. After unfolding the sheet completely, what will be the total area of all the pieces which have been cut-out from the original square sheet? Assume the value of $\pi$ = 3.14.
In the image shown below, PQ = QR = QS = 2 units. Also, QT = TS = QU = UR. The points T and U are the centre points of the semicircles. What is the total area of shaded portions in square units?
Shown below is the front and top views of two cubes. The red and blue cubes are made up of metal and wax respectively. Red cube is heated and is hot enough to melt wax in the blue cube. As shown in the front and top views, the red cube is moved along the path PQRS creating sharp edges and flat surfaces on the blue cube. What is the total number of surfaces the blue cube will have after the red cube reaches the point S?
