A square of a area 5 sq.units is cut along its diagonal as four triangles and these are arranged on another square of 5 sq.units to form a larger square. Then the area of the larger square is ___.

• A. 25 sq.units
• B. 10 sq.units
• C. 5 sq.units
• D. 50 sq.units

Answer 1

The correct option is B

10 sq.units

If a square of a area 5 sq.units is cut along its diagonal as four triangles and these are arranged on another square of 5 sq.units to form a larger square,

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

So, the area of the larger square formed by joining the 2 squares is 10 sq.units
