Overlapping Squares

These overlapping squares each have sides of 10 cm. One corner of one square is at the center of the other square. What is the area of the shaded region?

Region A = Region B (congruent triangles by ASA).
Therefore A + C = B + C and B + C = 25 sq cm.
Therefore A + C = 25 sq cm.
