7. Assuming the sides of the square are 4 units, which can be proven by working area functions for the triangles backwards. The other triangles total an area of 9, and since 4x4=16, 16-9=7.

its 7 you retarded shits

>>730367461
if you use area 1/2*b*h and use the number in each triangle for the area, its impossible

It says think outside the box you morons, clearly the "blue" area is the word "blue"

For example, if the green triangle takes up all of one side and half of the other, then your area equation is 1/2*4*2, which equals the given area.

>>730367098
Green triangle area = 4 = (4x2)/2

The square area is : 4x4= 16


Blue Area= 16 - 4 -3 -2 = 7

>>730367098
The right side is divided in the middle. Otherwise you wouldn't get a definitve value for blue.

That means, you can can tranaform the red to a rectangle at the left down cornder. It clearlyy follows, that the void can be filled by copied of green and yellow → it is 7

Split the rectangle horizontally
Wrap down the upper half of the red triangle
Done

height and width are 4, so the blue triangle is 7

Red triangle is 2, meaning the longer side must be 4, logically, and the shorter side 1.
Yellow triangle's base is three, height is 2.
Green is 4 by 2.

The blue area is a triangle.
The blue area is 7-area of a ?
The blue area is the word blue outside of the box.

z=length of the square side (yes, i'm assuming it's a square)

the area of the triangle is (base*height)/2

area of the red triangle is (z*(z-x))/2 = 2
are of the green triangle is (z*(z-y))/2 =4
are of the yellow triangle is (x*y)/2 = 3

solving that system we get

x=3
y=2
z=4

proof:
are of the square is: 4*4=16
are of the red triangle: (4*(4-3))/2 = 2
area of the green triangle: (4*(4-2))/2 = 2
area of the yellow triangle: (3*2)/2 = 2

area of the blue triange is the area of the square minus the area of each indivudual other square (red, green, yellow)
that being:
16-2-2-2=10

Dafuq people. "outside of the box"..... So it's the whole square. That point taken, eihter the blue triangle is 1, because there is 2,3,4 and the whole square is 10, or the triangle is 7 and the whole shit is 16. I don't get how people miss the main "outside of the box" thing....

These are the only possible answers and all of them are ''correct.'' The ''actual'' correct answer depends on what OP is looking for...
Shape? Color? Size? ...etc.

also, if you say

well done you got an answer using common sense. That'snot what they're lookingfor retards.

the question implies it's a square butit doesn't imply y = x-y as in my diagram, that's an assumption and you need to prove it. There are multiple areas of '/', 4 I believe.

nigger you need to show your work, and supplementing them into the equatiosn to show they work out isn't showing your work. How did you get those values for x, y and z? there are two quadratic equations you need to solve simulatneously which means 4 values, right?

The answer is 7.

4 = (base * height) / 2
8 = base * height
8 = 4 * 2
side length = 4
total area = 4 * 4 = 16
blue area = 16 - (4 + 3 + 2)
blue area = 16 - 9
blue area = 7

Assuming this is a square and the numbers are the area - with l as side.
- for 2 triangle lx/2=2 > x=4/l
- for 4 triangle ly/2=4 > y=8/l
- for 3 triangle (l-x)(l-y)/2=3 > l⁴ -18l²+32=0
For l²=z we get z²-18x+32=0 which gives us the result :the area of the square is 16.

but
c*g/2 = 4
c*r/2 = 2
(c-r)(c-g)/2 = 3
injecting in last eqn: (c-4/c)(c-8/c) = 3
so multiplyin by c2 and expanding we get
c4 - 12c2 + 32 = 3c2
c4 - 15c2 + 32 = 0
(c2 - 15/2)2 - 225/4 + 32 = 0
(c2 - 15/2)2 = (225 - 128)/4
c2 - 15/2 = +-sqrt(97)/2
c2 = 15/2 +- sqrt(97)/2

can't be - since then ? = c2 - 4 - 3 - 2 would be <0

c2 = 15/2 + sqrt(97)/2
? = c2 - 4 - 3 - 2 = -3/2 + sqrt(97)/2

and, for clarity, in my answer:
c = square side
g = green triangle side whch isn't c
r = red triangle side which isn't c

let's start over again from there:
(c-4/c)(c-8/c) = 6
c4 - 12c2 + 32 = 6c2
c4 - 18c2 + 32 = 0
(c2 - 9)2 - 81 + 32 = 0
(c2 - 9)2 = 49
c2 - 9 = +-7
c2 = 2 or 16
can't be 2 for same reason
? = 16 - 3 - 2 - 4 = 7

answer's 7, analytically

>>730384061
Objectively, it's a box. Thus we can assume a right angled rectangle, not necessarily a square, and we don't know how the lower and the right side are splitted.
