Length of side for square B, let this be w.
\n" ); document.write( "Length of side for square A is \"%287%2F10%29w\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area for square A is \"%2849%2F100%29w%5E2\", and area for square B is \"w%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The question, \"what percent of area of B is the area of A\", means how much of area A is in area B? You specified a percentage value for A in B. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%2849%2F100%29w%5E2%29%2F%281%2Aw%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"49%2F100\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is 49%.
