Answer: 1 Mark
Let the length and breadth of the bigger rectangle be ′a′m and ′b′m respectively
Then, the length of the shaded rectangle is (0.1 a)m.
Then, the breadth of the shaded rectangle is (0.001 b)m.
Area of the given bigger rectangle = ab metres. = 10000 m2
Area of the shaded rectangle = (0.1a) × (0.001b)
= (0.0001) × (ab)
= (0.0001) × (10000)
= 1m2
