Question

Calculate the area of the square shown below (HARD)

Answer 1

check the picture below.

recall that in a square, all sides are equal, so if we make b = a, then we get that for one side, also recall that the area of a rectangle is length*width, so in this case,


`\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of the square}}{\stackrel{length}{5√(2)}\cdot \stackrel{width}{5√(2)}}\implies 25(√(2))^2\implies 25\cdot 2\implies 50`
