The area of the first square is 48 cm2 and the area 2 is 3 times less. Find the side of the second square.

By the first action, we must calculate what is the area of the second square, knowing that it is half the area of the first, equal to 48 cm².

48/2 = 24 cm².

Let’s calculate what the length of the side of the square is, knowing that its area is 24 square cm. Since the area of a square is equal to the square of its side, we must extract the square root of this number.

a = √24 = √ (4 * 6) = 2√6 cm.

If the area is three times less then:

48/3 = 16 cm².

a = √16 = √4 * 4 = 4 cm.

Answer: 4 centimeters, 2√6 centimeters.
