How to solve Puzzle 086?
For puzzle 86, you need to figure out how many times bigger the blue square is than the red square in the image provided.
Sylvain brought you this diagram to see if you can help him with it.
Several circles and squares are pictured in the diagram below. How many times larger is the area of the blue square when compared to that of the red square?
What are the hints for Puzzle 086?
Hint 1
Do you see the circle that touches the sides of the big blue square?
A smaller square sits inside the circle and touches it. Since the square is smaller than the circle, you can rotate it within the circle.
Hint 2
If you rotate the middle square 45 degrees, its corners will touch the sides of the large blue square.
At the same time, notice that this rotation has made it so that the red square’s corners now make contact with the middle square.
Having trouble visualizing the rotation? Try drawing it on your screen.
Hint 3
From the rotation described in the second hint, draw two perpendicular lines from the outer circle through the middle to divide the squares into four quadrants.
Do this and you’ll see that the middle square’s area is equal to half of the blue square’s. Go and try it for yourself.
Puzzle 086 Answer
The blue square is 4 times bigger than the red square.
