Let the diagonal of one square be (2d) cmThen, diagonal of another square = d cm? Area of first square = [ 1/2 x (2d)2] cm2Area of second square = (1/2 x d2) cm2? Ratio of area = (2d)2/ d2= 4/1 = 4: 1
Original area = ?(d/2)2= (?d2) / 4New area = ?(2d/2)2= ?d2Increase in area = (?d2 - ?d2/4)= 3?d2/4? Required increase percent = [(3?d2)/4 x 4/(?d2) x 100]%= 300%
