Problem 31
In this diagram, not drawn to scale, Figures and
are equilateral triangular regions with respective areas of
and
square inches. Figure
is a square region with area
square inches. Let the length of segment
be decreased by
% of itself, while the lengths of
and
remain unchanged. The percent decrease in the area of the square is:
