Problem

Squares $ABCD$ and $EFGH$ are congruent, $AB=10$, and $G$ is the center of square $ABCD$. The area of the region in the plane covered by these squares is [asy] draw((0,0)--(10,0)--(10,10)--(0,10)--cycle); draw((5,5)--(12,-2)--(5,-9)--(-2,-2)--cycle); label("A", (0,0), W); label("B", (10,0), E); label("C", (10,10), NE); label("D", (0,10), NW); label("G", (5,5), N); label("F", (12,-2), E); label("E", (5,-9), S); label("H", (-2,-2), W); dot((-2,-2)); dot((5,-9)); dot((12,-2)); dot((0,0)); dot((10,0)); dot((10,10)); dot((0,10)); dot((5,5)); [/asy] $\textbf{(A)}\ 75 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 100 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 125 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 150 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 175$
