We know that in any triangle "the sum of two sides is always greater than its third side" and "the difference of two sides is always less than its third side".(i) 2 + 3 is not greater than 5 (ii) |5 - 2| not less than 3
Let each side of the square be a. Then, area = . a 2 New side = 125 a 100 = 5 a 4 . New area = 5 a 4 2 = 25 a 2 16 Increase in area = 25 a 2 16 - a 2 = 9 a 2 16 Increase% = 9 a 2 16 * 1 a 2 * 100 % = 56.25%.
