Question

here are 2 squares A and B 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 region of square B

Answer 1

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the side of square A is 50% of the side of square B, if you think about things logically here square A is only 25%of square B. Therefore the shaded area HAS to be half of 25% making the answer 12.5%

Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

The area of the shaded region of square A as a percentage of the region of square B is 12.5%.

What is a square?

It is a polygon that has four sides. The sum of the internal angle is 360 degrees. In a square, opposite sides are parallel and all sides are equal and each angle is 90 degrees. And its diagonals are also equal and intersect at the mid-point.

Here are 2 squares A and B The length of the side of square A is 50% of the length of the side of square B.

Let the side length of square B be x.

Then the side length of the square A will be

→ 0.5x

Then the area of the shaded region will be

$\rm Shaded \ area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 0.5x\times 0.5x\\\\Shaded \ area = 0.125x^2$

Then the percentage will be

$\rm Percentage = \dfrac{0.125x^2}{x^2 }\times 100\\\\Percentage = 12.5 \%$
