Answer: 54 cm²

SOLUTION 1 :

6 cm

12 cm

Step 1: Area of square ABCD → 12 cm x 12 cm = 144 cm²

Step 2: Length of AF → 12 cm ÷ 2 = 6 cm

Step 3: Area of triangle AFE → $\frac{1}{2}$ x 6 cm x 6 cm = 18 cm²

Step 4: Area of triangle CDE → $\frac{1}{2}$ x 6 cm x 12 cm = 36 cm²

Step 5: Area of triangle CBF → $\frac{1}{2}$ x 6 cm x 12 cm = 36 cm²

Step 6: 18 cm² + 36 cm² + 36 cm² = 90cm²

Step 7: 144 cm² - 90 cm² = 54 cm²
