Video Summary

The problem involves finding the area of a shaded region within a square, with each side measuring 10 cm. The square is divided into two equal rectangles by a line through its center. The shaded region consists of two identical triangles. To determine the area of one triangle, we calculate the base and height, each measuring 5 cm, and apply the formula for the area of a triangle: \((base \times height) / 2\). Each triangle's area is 12.5 cm², and since there are two, the total area is 25 cm². Therefore, the area of the shaded region is 25 cm².
