• A. 34 sq.units
• B. 68 sq.units
• C. 17 sq.units
• D. 10 sq.units

Answer 1

The correct option is C

17 sq.units

If a square is cut along its diagonal into four triangles and these are arranged on another square of same area to form a larger square.

Then the area of the larger square is double the area of the original square.

Given that the area of the larger square is 34 sq.units

So the area of the original square is = $\frac{34}{2}=17sq.units$
