Answer:

425

Explanation:

I used help from the guy above me to find 2 and 4 so look at theirs for those. (Thank You). For 1 and 3. Each one is 1/9 of the big square. So each one is 1/9*900=100 100*2=200. And then we add 225+200=425.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Explanation:

If you have a square of side
l, its diagonal would be
l√(2), and its area
l^2

If the big square has a area of 900, this implies that its side is
√(900), so the two diagonal of squares 2 and 4 added together would be
√(900), therefore one diagonal wold be
(√(900))/(2). and its side
(√(900))/(2)(1)/(√(2)). The area (of one square) is
((√(900))/(2)(1)/(√(2)))^2=(225)/(2)

finally the two areas combined (squares 2 and 4) would be 225
