Detailed Solution

It is given that, PQ = 42 m.
Question Image

We have to find the total area of the two flower beds.
The expression to find the area of a triangle is

A = 12 b h

. Here b and h are the base and height of a triangle.
The diagonal of a square bisect each other at

90 o

.
Let the radius of the circle with center O is OP = OS = x. Since,

∠

POQ=

90 °

, then, by using the Pythagoras theorem, Question Image

So, area of flower bed, A is, Question Image

The total area of the two flower beds,

A r e a = 2 × A ⇒ A r e a = 2 × 252 ⇒ A r e a = 504 m 2

Therefore, the total area of the flower bed is,

504 m 2

.
Therefore, the correct option is 3.
