Let the measure of side AB be x, then, the measue of side AE is given by
.
Now, ABCD is a square of size x, thus the area of square ABCD is given by
Also, AEFG is a square of size
, thus, the area of square AEFG is given by
<span>The sum of the areas of the two squares ABCD and AEFG is given by
Therefore, </span>the number of square units in the sum of the areas of the two squares <span>ABCD and AEFG is 81 square units.</span>
