Answer: 24cm²

Explanation:

Let square with length 5cm be represented with A, and square with 7cm be represented with B.

Area of a square is L²

Square A will have an area of 5² = 25cm²

Square B will have an area of 7² = 49cm²

Total area between the two squares will be = Area of Square (B - A)

i.e.

Total Area = 49cm² - 25cm² = 24cm²
