Hi tianzhu,
Thks for pointing out and your answer is correct. The question itself is not clear and you have to strain your eye to look for the locations of E, F and G in the paper.Sorry that VC had made a typo error as she had to rush to go to school, this morning. Here's the solution by the supplier:

ΔBCD = 1/2
ΔBDH = 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8
ΔAGB = 1/4
ΔAGF = 1/4x1/3 = 1/12
ΔAGD = 1/4
ΔDGE = 1/4x1/2= 1/8
1/8+1/12+1/8= 1/3
1/3x15x15 = 75 cm2

Thanks Tianzhu. Could I find out though - why is it that the bigger square would have an area that is 2X the area of the smaller square? Pardon my ignorance ..... would like to work it out myself, but in the interest of time - taking short cut of asking you.

Thanks in advance

Hi

Here's the slide, it'll help to explain why the big square is 2 times the area of the small square.

Best wishes.

Hi VC’s mum

Maybe, the original question is in better shape.

If we add the gridlines for the squares, the solution becomes clearer. We can even work in terms of units.
