The areas of two squares

in the model are given.
Find the area of the
third square.
625 units2
400

Answer 1

225 units

Explanation:

Answer 2

225 u²

Explanation:

The area of the larger square is 625 u². We know that area of square is the square of side. So ,

⇒ a² = 625 u²

⇒ a = √625 u²

⇒ a = 25 u .

Similarly finding the side of second square as ,

⇒ a'² = 400 u²

⇒ a' = √400 u²

⇒ a' = 20 u

If we see these are the hypontenuse and base of a right a Angled triangle formed between the square. The measure of perpendicular will be the side lenght of third square.

⇒ h² = p² + b²

⇒( 25u)² = p² + (20u)²

⇒ p² = 625 - 400 u²

⇒ p² = 225 u²

This p² is only the area of square .

Hence the area of third square is 225 u² with a side lenght of 15 u .
