Answers
Area always remains same regardless of shape.
Given: Priya decomposed a square into 16 smaller, equal-size squares and then cut out 4 of the small squares and attached them around the outside of original square to make a new figure.
To find: the area of the new figure compared with that of the original square.
Solution: Draw the required figure.
Know that from the question priya decompsed a square into 16 smaller squares. then she cut out four small square represented by pink square in the figure.
Observe that, She then attached those squares outside the given square represented by blue squares in the figure.
Understand that, no new area or square is added to the figure only the place of the squares that are cut is displaced.
Therefore, there will be no change in the area of the new figure compared with that of the original square.
