Question

Two congruent squares overlap at the midpoint of their sides. If a square has a side of 10 cm, what is the area of the figure?

Answer 1

Answer

150 cm²

Explanation

If the square overlap at the mid-point, find the mind point of the square.

10 ÷ 2 = 5

To get the length of the figure;

length  = 5 × 3

            = 15 cm

Width remains as 10 cm

area = length × width

         = 15 × 10

          = 150 cm²
