Let x be the single side length of the square.


Therefore;


x²=28-4√(x²-16) via similar triangle.

16(x²-16)=(28-x²)²

16x²-256=784-56x²+x⁴

x⁴-72x²+1040=0

Let x²(blue area) = P

Therefore;

P²-72P+1040=0

P²-20P-52P+1040=0

P(P-20)-52(P-20)=0

(P-20)(P-52)=0


Therefore;


P ≠ 52 

P = 20

And P = x² (blue area)

Therefore blue area (area inscribed square) is;

x² = 20 cm²
