add another two similar lines, to arrive at the 4 shaded triangles. Obviously, the hollow center square is of the same area as the 4 shaded triangles added up. Hence, the area in question is simply the area of any shaded triangle, such as DFG.
DFG is similar to DEC, whose area is 25. DE= 5*sqrt(5). DF/DE=sqrt(5).
Hence, sDFG/sDEC=1/5. sDFG = 5.
