Question

The length of the side of square A is 50% of the length of the side of square b

Express the area of the shaded region of square A as a percentage of the area of square B.

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

let length of 1st square be x and second be y

then

A/q

x = y/2

area of first square = x^2 = (y/2)^2 = (y^2)/4

and

area of second square = y^ 2

so from sbove two lines

area of first square = 1/4 * area of second square

= 1/4 *100%

so..

area of first sqare = 25% of area of second square
