On a square paper of length 2.524375cm is inscribed square diagram of length 0.524375cm. Find the area of the paper not covered by the diagram. correct to 3 significant figures.

6.00cm²

6.10cm²

6cmv

6.09cm²

4.00cm²

Correct answer is B

Area of the paper = area of square = L x B or S²

where s = S x k

Area of the paper = (2.524)²

area of the diagram = (0.524)²

area not covered = (2.524)² - (0.524)²

= 6.370576 - 0.274576

= 6.096

= 6.10cm² (2 s.f)
