Corner-Scalloped Plaque

Corner-Scalloped Plaque: a composite plane figure made of a rectangle 8.2 × 5.6 cm, minus a circle of radius 1.4 cm, minus a circle of radius 1.4 cm, minus a circle of radius 1.4 cm, minus a circle of radius 1.4 cm. It is a classic middle school geometry problem (“Cutouts & Benchmarks”). The net area is 39.77 cm² and the total perimeter is 25.19 cm.

How to find the area

Area formula: A = b·h − π·r² · 2p = 2(b+h−4r) + 2πr

The parts overlap or intersect, so the net area (39.77 cm²) comes from the exact Boolean operation rather than from a plain sum of the part areas.
