In a square, all the mid points are joined. The inner square is shaded. If the area of the square is A, what is the area of the shaded area?

• it will be A/2
  trically:A has been divided into 4 equal parts (A/4) and in each part half is the shaded region .therefore(A/8) is area of shaded part in each quarter and there are four such quarter .Hence A/2.
  logically :each side will be underroot(A).
  for shadeded area it will be diagonal so shaded square side is underrrot(A/2).
  square it to get A/2.

• area of square=(side)^2
  A=side^2
  side=rootA/2
  area of inner square=side^2=(rootA/2)^2=A/4
