Question

The large square above has area 9 and is divided into 9

smaller squares of equal area. What is the length of the path
drawn in bold?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6

Answer 1

area of big square = 9
length of 1 side= 3
length of 1 side of small square = 1
so the answer is D cuz its 6

Answer 2

Correct option is:

D. 6

Explanation:

Large square has area 9

that means if S is the side of large square then,

S²=9

i.e. S=3

Now, if s denotes the side of small square then, s=S/3

i.e. s=1

So, the length of the path drawn in bold is:

1+2+2+1

=6

Hence, the correct option is:

D. 6
