Hint: the diagonal of the small square is the radius of the quatre circle

#

And the sides of the large square are also radii of the quatre circle

#

Well let the side length of the small square be x

#

Then what would the side length of the big square be?

#

In terms of x

#

Correct

#

Now how would u calculate the area of the shaded region

#

Think about adding and subtracting areas of different shapes

#

Almost

#

Remember the radius of the circle is x√2

#

Not just x

#

Yep

#

Then u can work out the area of the large square and find the percentage

#

Yep

#

First to make the algebra easy i would factor out x²

#

Then divide the shaded area by the total area and multiply by 100

#

Yes
