To Calculate:
The area of smaller square.
Answer to Problem 55STP
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The midpoints of the sides of the large square are joined to form a smaller square.
Concept Used:
PYTHAGORAS THEOREM/ PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM :
It is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right
where
a = side of the right angled triangle
b = side of the right angled triangle
c = hypotenuse
Calculation:
Let the length of a side of the smaller square be represented by s .
So, the formula for area of the square would be
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of a side of the smaller square.
So,
Hence,the correct answer is B.
