  1. The way i fount the area for the tilted square was by making a larger square around the tilted square and subtracting the area from the triangles in the larger square.

  2. The way we found the area for the tilted square was by drawing a larger square around the tilted square. Then we subtracted the area of the larger square's triangles by the area of the large square in total

  3. I got the big square by multipling 7*7 and got the area which is 49ins sq. i got the triangles area by first muiltiplying 7*4 which is 28 then dividing by 2 and the area is 14ins sq.

  5. To find the area of a tilted square I make a bigger square around the tilted square. Then I find the area of all of the triangles.I also find the area of the bigger square. Finally I subtract the two areas from each other getting the area of the tilted square.
