Question 15

Consider two circles, each having radius of 5cm (centimeters), touching each other at a point P. A direct tangent QR is drawn touching one circle at a point Q and the other circle at a point R. Inside the region PQR inscribed by the two circles and the tangent, a square ABCD is inscribed with its base AB on the tangent and the other side touching the two circles at points D and C, respectively.
Find the area of the square ABCD.
