Question

4/7

of a square is painted green.5/6 of the remainder is painted red. If the green
part is 36 cm² more than the red. find the area of the square.

Answer 1

168

Explanation:

Let the area of the square be
`x`.

`(4)/(7)x-(5)/(6)\left((3)/(7)x \right)=36 \\ \\ (4)/(7)x-(5)/(14)x=36 \\ \\ (8)/(14)x-(5)/(14)x=36 \\ \\ (3)/(14)x=36 \\ \\ (1)/(14)x=12 \\ \\ x=168`
