Correct Answer: 539.712 cm 2


Solution :

Area of the square = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (diagonal) 2
= $\frac{1}{2}×32^2$
= $512$ cm 2
Area of the equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt3}{4}$×(side) 2
= $\frac{\sqrt3}{4}×8^2$
= $16\sqrt3$ cm 2
Total area = $512$ + $16\sqrt3$
= 512 + 27.712
= 539.712 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 539.712 cm 2 .
