Original area = (22/7) x 9 x 9 cm2New area = (22/7) x 7 x 7 cm2? Decrease = 22/7 x [(9)2 -(7)2] cm2=(22/7) x 16 x 2 cm2Decrease percent = [(22/7 x 16 x 2) /( 7/22 x 9 x 9)] x 100 %= 39.5 %
Let the diagonal of one square be (2d) cmThen, diagonal of another square = d cm? Area of first square = [ 1/2 x (2d)2] cm2Area of second square = (1/2 x d2) cm2? Ratio of area = (2d)2/ d2= 4/1 = 4: 1
