Answer:
25% (note that this is the answer to the question: "express the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B; there is no diagram showing me where the shaded area is, so I cannot answer the original question)
Step-by-step explanation:
When the problem says that the side of square A is 50% of the side of square B, it basically means that the side of square A is 1/2 of the side of square B.
Let's say the side length of square A is x, which means the side length of square B is 2x.
Then, the area of square A can be written as [tex]x^{2}[/tex] , and the area of square B can be written as [tex]4x^{2}[/tex].
There's no diagram here with shaded region, so I'll just find the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B:
[tex]\frac{x^{2} }{4x^{2} }[/tex] = 1/4 = 25%
So, the answer is 25% (note this is the answer to the question: "express the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B; there is no diagram showing me where the shaded area is, so I cannot answer the original question)
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of areas = (Ratio of sides)²
Ratio of area = 0.5²
Ratio of areas = 0.25
0.25 × 100 = 25%
