The answer to the question is 1-5
There are 4 terms.
The second term and the fourth term have negative coefficients.
Terms are only negative depending on the value of the variables.
The best way to do this is to make up values for the sides.
Say the lengths of square B's sides are each 4 cm. That means A's sides are 2 cm.
So, the area of square B is 4^2 = 16 cm^2, and A's area is 4 cm^2. We can see the shaded area is half of A, so it's 2 cm^2.
What percent of 16 is 2?
2 / 16 * 100 = 12.5%
