Question

Which shaded region is larger? Explain your reasoning..

Answer 1

It's B because If you cover the blue you will see space that looks like a triangle. Do the same to A. You see how in B the Triangle looking thing is lower than A because A triangle thing is like more up and wider so it has space. Also B has a little space than A

Explanation:

Answer 2

The shaded image in figure A is larger.

Which shaded region is larger?

First, notice that the four white corners are exactly the same in both images, this just means that the larger image will contain the larger figure.

Image A is 2 units by 5 units, for a total of:

2*5 = 10 square units.

Figure B is 3 by 3 units, for a total of:

3*3 = 9 square units.

Then if image A is larger, and the white regions are equal in both images, this means that the shaded figure in image A must be larger than the shaded image in figure B.
