Question 1090439: A square with a side equal to ( 2x)m is made up of four smaller equal squares
One of the squares is removed and the remaining shaded area is 75m squared . Calculate the value of x Found 2 solutions by Boreal, KMST:Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Drawing this helps
Area of whole thing is 4x^2 m^2
1/4 is removed
3x m^2 remains
that equals 75 m^2
therefore x^2=75/3=25 m^2
x=5 m
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the side of the large square measures ,
the area of the large square in is , and
the area in of each of the four smaller squares is .
After one of the small squares is removed, a figure made up of of the small squares is remaining.
It's area in is , so , .
That means that .
