## Solved Problem 1: Side of a Triangle

Starting now, we will be solving some problems with detailed solutions. Today, we’ll start with a problem about square and triangle.

Problem

The side of square ABCD is 12 cm. Point P is drawn on side AB and then connected to D. If the area of triangle APD = 60 square centimeters, what is the length of AP?

Solution

The area of a triangle is the product of half of its base and height. ABCD is a square, so A is a right angle; therefore, we can take AP and AD as base and height. We let AP = nContinue reading

## Problem of the Week 8

This is the 8th problem of the week of MTAP Reviewer.

Problem

The diagonal of a square is 6cm. Find the area of the square that is twice its size.

Solution

We can divide a square into several ways, one of which is using its diagonal.

Now, using the diagonal of the square as side of the larger square, we can create a larger square as shown above. As seen, the diagonal of the square cuts the square into half. This half region makes a fourth of the larger square (Can you see why?).

Since the length of the side of the larger square is the diagonal of the smaller square 6, the area of the larger square is 6× 6 = 36.
