22 The diagram shows a square inside rectangle \(ABCD\)

Diagram NOT accurately drawn
The total area of the region shown shaded in the diagram is \(X\) cm2
\(AB = 11.5\) cm correct to the nearest 0.5 cm
\(BC = 9.2\) cm correct to 2 significant figures
side of square = 4.1 cm correct to 2 significant figures
By considering bounds, work out the value of \(X\) to a suitable degree of accuracy.
Show your working clearly.

Notes
B1: for a correct bound
Accept
\(11.74\dot{9}\) for 11.75 or \(11.74\overline{9}\) for 11.75
\(9.24\dot{9}\) for 9.25 or \(9.24\overline{9}\) for 9.25
\(4.14\dot{9}\) for 4.15 or \(4.14\overline{9}\) for 4.15
A1: dep on M2
90 and both UB and LB correct using correct values 11.25, 11.75, 9.15, 9.25, 4.05 and 4.15
