Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Side of the square =  5 cm

Diameter of the hole  =  1 cm

To Find:

Area of the square with the hole = ?

solution

Step 1: Finding the area of the square

Area of the square  =

Area of the square  =

Area of the square  =  25 square units

Step 2: Finding the area of the hole

Area of the hole =

Area of the hole =            

Area of the hole = 0.785 square units

Step 3: Finding the Area of the square with the hole
