The side length of square ABCD is 7 cm, and there is a triangle bef inside it (as shown in the figure). The line AE = 4 cm, DF = 2 cm, then the area of triangle bef is equal to______ Square centimeter

The side length of square ABCD is 7 cm, and there is a triangle bef inside it (as shown in the figure). The line AE = 4 cm, DF = 2 cm, then the area of triangle bef is equal to______ Square centimeter

S △ def = (7-4) × 2 △ 2 = 3 (square centimeter), s △ bed = (7-4) × 7 △ 2 = 10.5 (square centimeter), s △ BFD = 7 × 2 △ 2 = 7 (square centimeter), s △ bef = s △ bed + s △ bfd-s △ def = 10.5 + 7-3 = 14.5 (square centimeter)
