Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

5 parts are shaded and 4 parts are white so:

There are 9 parts all together.

We can then form ratio's of the white areas and the shaded areas:

White Area Ratio =

$\frac{4}{9}$

Shaded Area Ratio =

$\frac{5}{9}$

Let the area of sqaure be equated to x, which means let the entire area of the square equal to x:

x = Area of whole square

Now we can form an equation :

$\frac{5}{9} x = 165$

So now we just need to solve for x:

$x = \frac{165}{ \frac{5}{9} }$

$x = 297$

The area of the square is:

$297 {cm}^{2}$
