Here's another approach, no peeking: let x be the side of the unknown small square and x + y the side of the big square. Then we have x^2 = (x + y)^2 - (12 + 21) = (x + y)^2 - 33; Looking at the small upper right rectangle, xy = 12; so y = 12/x; and we now have two independent equations. Substituting 12/x for y in the first equation, x^2 = (x + 12/x)^2 - 33; expanding, x^2 = x^2 + 144/x^2 + (2x)(12/x) - 33; simplifying, x^2 = x^2 + 144/x^2 + 24 - 33; subtracting x^2 from both sides and rearranging 144/x^2 - 9 = 0; or, 144/x^2 = 9; multiplying both sides by x^2, 9(x^2) = 144; and finally, x^2 = 144/9 = 16. This is the area of the unknown square. Check: x = √16 = 4; y = 12/x = 12/4 = 3; lower rectangle : y(x + y) = 3(4 + 3) = 21; upper right rectangle: xy = (4)(3) = 12; entire large square: (x + y)^2 = (4 + 3)^2 = 7^2 = 49; 21 + 12 + 16 = 49. Cheers. 🤠

Let s be the side of the blue square,s+t be the side of the large square, then st=12, t(s+t)=st+t^2=21, so t^2=21-12=9, t=3 and s=4, therefore the answer is 4^2=16, done.😄

Two squares mean that the area in the bottom left corner is the same as the area in the top right corner, which is 12 cm². Therefore, the area of the square in the bottom right corner is 21 cm² - 12 cm² = 9 cm². So, the side length of the square in the bottom right corner is 3 cm. This means that the blue square must have an area of 16 cm². The big square covers an area of (4 + 3)² = 49 cm² (= 16 + 2 * 12 + 9 cm²).

let A A be the blue side square and B the remaining length of the larger square. you have AxB=12 and B*(A+B)=21 this get you to AxB + B*B = 21 B*B=21-12=9 so B=3 12/B=A (first formula) so A=4 and area is 16.

It seems there is a much easier way. A rectangle Area 12 must have sides of either 12x1, 6x2 or 4x3. The rectangle Area 21 can only have sides of 7x3 OR 21x1. Logically, therefore, the sides of the large square are 7x7, or 49 units. 49-(21+12)=16.. this mental math took me about 30 seconds

Just because it worked for the given example doesn’t mean it will work all the time. One shouldn’t assume that the sides of the green and yellow rectangles are integers. If the yellow rectangle’s area is 18 then your method doesn’t work.

By extending the parallel to AD, the diagram becomes a visual proof that (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y² So here we have y² = 9 and xy = 12. Therefore, the area of the blue square is (12 / √9)² = 16 cm²

At a glance, if all side lengths are integers then 21=7*3 and 12 =4*3 hence large square side = 7 and Area of blue shaded area is 7 * 7 - 21 -12 = 16 cm^2, a square of side 4 cm^2

I assigned the variable X to represent the length of the sides of the square in centimeters. Then the remaining value on the top of the larger square would be 12/X. This would yield two equal expressions for the area of the larger square; x^2 + 12 + 21 = (x + 12/x)^2 . This would be reduced to x^2 + 33 = x^2 + 24 + 144/x^2. This would simplify to 33=24+144/x^2. Finally 9=144/x^2 ; 9x^2 = 144 ; x^2 = 16 cm. sq. (The area of the blue square).

Answer 4^2 = 16 Could solve by letting the blue square side = x; hence the green sides are x, and 12/x; and hence the large square sides are x + 12/x; hence the area of square ABCD = (x+12/x)^2, or x^2 + 144/x^2 + 24. But this area = x^2 + 12 + 21; hence x^2 +144/x^2 + 24 =x^2 +12 + 21 144/x^2 = 33-24 (12/x)^2 = 9 (12/x)^2 =3^2 12/x = 3, the square root of both sides 12 = 3x cross multiply x=4 , the side of the blue Hene its area = 16

I made s the length of the yellow rectangle. I made a the length of the yellow rectangle. a * s =21. Length of green rectangle is s-a. Width of green rectangle =b. (s-a)*b =12. The blue square has dimensions of (s-a) * (s-b). In my system of equations s-b = s-a, so a =b. (s-a)*a =12 and s= 21/a. (21/a - a) *a becomes a^2 - 9 = 0 a=3 or a = -3 (rejected), so a = 3. b=3. s-a =4 and s-b =4. The area of the small blue square = 4 *4 = 16.

Again, without drawing lines: a * (b - a) = 12 b - a = 12/a b * (b - a) = 21 b - a = 21/b 12/a = 21/b b * 12 = a * 21 b = 21a/12 b = 7a/4 a * (b - a) = 12 a * (7a/4 - a) = 12 a * (7a/4 - 4a/4) = 12 a * 3a/4 = 12 3a^2/4 = 12 3a^2 = 48 a^2 = 16
Assuming integer numbers: 21+12=33 Next square numbers are 36; 49; 64; etc. 36-33=3 49-33=16=4² 😊

Other easier method: Let's green square area be: ab=12 (so a is also the lenght of the blue square and b is the shorter lenght of the green square). The blue square area is: a^2 Square ABCD area is: a^2+12+21=(a+b)^2 a^2+12+21=a^2+b^2+2ab a^2-a^2+12+21-2ab=b^2 12+21-24=b^2 9=b^2 b=3 From ab=12, a=4 Blue square area is a^2=4^2=16

Let the side length of the blue square be x and the side length of the entire square be y. As the blue square has height x, so does the green rectangle. By observation the width of the green rectangle is y-x, so the area is x(y-x). By observation, the height of the yellow rectangle is y-x, so the area is y(y-x). By observation, the section of the yellow rectangle directly below the blue square is the same area as the green rectangle, x(y-x), so its area is also 12. This means the remainder of the yellow triangle, with area (y-x)², has an area of 9. Therefore (y-x) = √9 = 3. As (y-x) = 3, then as the green rectangle has area x(y-x) = 12, then x = 12/3 = 4. Area of blue square = 4² = 16cm²

Here is my incredibly lazy shortcut. Assume that 12=3x4 and 21=7x3. If the green rectangle is 3cm wide its height must be 4cm, which will also be the height of the blue square. The yellow rectangle must then have a width of 7cm and a height of 3cm, confirming the width of the blue square as 7-3=4cm. Thus the blue square has an area of 4x4=16cm^2. This is confirmed by the outer square having a side length of 7 and an area of 7x7=49cm^2, which is equal to the total area of the coloured shapes: 16+12+21.
