Question:
Four congruent right-angled triangles are arranged to form two squares as shown:
a. What is the area of the smaller square as a fraction of the larger square?
b. Assuming the size of the larger square stays the same, what could the dimensions of each of the four congruent triangles be so that the area of the smaller square is half that of the larger square?
c. Is it possible for the area of the smaller square to be less than half that of the larger square? Give a convincing reason for your answer.
