SUMMARY
The area enclosed by four circular pieces, each with a radius of 7 cm, can be determined by first forming a square using the centers of the circles. The area of the square is calculated, and then the area of the sectors formed by the circles needs to be subtracted from this square area. The enclosed area is equivalent to four times the area of a sector from a circle that is circumscribed within the square.
