Required

Which statement is true

Before the division, the area of both squares is:

After the division:

The area of the triangle is:

Substitute Area for l * w

This equals half the area of the square

The area of the rectangle is:

The length of the rectangle is now half the length of the original square.

So, we have:

Substitute Area for l * w

From the values of A1 and A2, we can conclude that (a) is true
