Mathematics Question and Solution
Sir Mike Ambrose is the author of the question.
Let the single side length of the square be 2 units.
Therefore;
Area square is;
2*2
= 4 square units.
Area red is;
Area triangle with height (5/3) units and base (5/2) units + Area parallelogram with base (5/2) units and height (1/3) units.
= ½((5/3)*(5/2)) + ((5/2)*(1/3))
= ½(25/6) + (5/6)
= (25/12)+(5/6)
= (35/12) square units.
It implies;
Area Red ÷ Area Square in its exact simplest form is;
(35/12) ÷ 4
= 35/48
