Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
I attached an image to aid the understanding of the question.
Looking at the image, we see that the 8 shaded parts are congruent, as affirmed in the question as well. And we are told that T = 3, this implies that the area of the square with T as it's side is 9ft². Since all the 8 squares are congruenrt, it means each square has its area to be 9. Therefore, the total area of the 8 shaded squares will be:

It remains the area of the shaded square with side S.
From the question, we have the following ratio:
I did not add ± because length is always positive, so the case of negative is eliminated.
Now the areas of S is 
Therefore, the total area of the shaded squares is

The value of y is -8 if the x -24 and y varies directly with x, and If y = 4 when x = 12.
<h3>What is a proportional relationship?</h3>
It is defined as the relationship between two variables when the first variable increases, the second variable also increases according to the constant factor.
The question is incomplete.
The complete question is:
If y varies directly with x, and If y = 4 when x = 12, how do you find y when x = -24?
y ∝ x (given)
y = kx
k is the constant of proportionality.
4 = 12k (y = 4, and x = 12)
k = 1/3
y = x/3
Plug x = -24
y = -24/3
y = -8
Thus, the value of y is -8 if the x -24 and y varies directly with x, and If y = 4 when x = 12.
