Question

Four corners of the square of the area $32c{m}^2$ are folded as shown in the first two figures. It is unfolded and cut along the creases to get a new square. Find the area of the new square.

• A. $64c{m}^2$
• B. $96c{m}^2$
• C. $16c{m}^2$
• D. $32c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$16c{m}^2$

Four corners of the square are folded and it is unfolded to cut along the creases to get a new square.

Then the area of the new square is half the area of the original square

$\Rightarrow$ The area of the new square is $16c{m}^2$
