Question

9. If the area of square 1 is 250 units?, and the area of square 3 is

120 units, what is the area of square 2? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

185 units.

Explanation:

So first, I subtracted: 250 - 120 = 130

I divided 130 by 2. I got 65.

I subtracted 65 from 250 and I got 185.

Proof it is correct:

185 - 120 = 65

AND

250 - 185 = 65
