• look its like this:
  9
  ----------
  7 7
  ------------
  14
  
  so if we will find the height of ||gm then we will see its like
  sin45=height/7. and tan45=height/base.
  =>height=7/sqrt2 and height=base.
  so now fig can be found like this:
  9
  ----------
  | |7/sqrt2
  7/sqrt2| |
  ----------
  7/sqrt2 +(14-(7/sqrt2)) so, [7/sqrt2 +(14-(7/sqrt2))] - 9 = 5.ans
