Question

The area of square pqrs is 36 CM square find the area of the square joining the midpoints of the sides pqrs

Answer 1

Answer: Our required area would be 18 square cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Area of square PQRS = 36 cm²

If the mid points of the square PQRS are joined to form a square.

So, The area of square joining the mid points of the sides PQRS is  half the area of square PQRS.

As we know that midpoint divides the sides into two equal parts.

So, Area would also half.

So, Area of square joining the midpoints of the sides PQRS is

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 36\\\\=18\ cm^2$

Hence, our required area would be 18 square cm.
