Square B Area = 144cm²

Square B = X

The dimensions of Square A are three times The dimensions of Square B

Square A = 3 * Square B

Square A = 3X

The area of Square A is 1,296 cm2.

Square A Area = (3X)² = 1296

Square B Area = X²

Solve to find X.

(3X)² = 1296

3X = 36

X = 36/3 = 12

Square B Area = 12² = 144

Square B Area = 144cm²
