The figure not drawn to scale shows Square G and Square H inside Square CDEF. The area of Square G is 9 m
2 and the area of Square CDEF is 64 m
2.
- Find the length of one side of Square H.
- Find the perimeter of the shaded region.
(a)
Length of Square G
= √9
= 3 m
Length of Square CDEF
= √64
= 8 m
Length of Square H
= 8 - 3
= 5 m
(b)
Perimeter of the shaded region
= (2 x 8) + (2 x 5)
= 16 + 10
= 26 m
Answer(s): (a) 8 m; (b) 26 m
