1)  The  toal area  of  boh squares = 4^2  + 5^2  =  16 +  25  = 41

 

We  have three squares outside  the  shaded  region

 

One is a  right triangle with  legs  of  1  and  5.....its area  =  (1/2) 5 * 1 =  5/2  =  2.5

 

Another  is a triangle  ith a height of  5 and a  base of  9.....its  area  = (1/2)(9) (5)  = 45/2  = 22.5

 

The last  triangle is also a right triangle with legs of  4...its area = (1/2) (4) (4)  = 16/ 2  =  8

 

Shaded  region  =   41   -  [ 2.5  + 22.5  + 8]  =    8  (units)^2

2)  Let  the side  of  the  square  =  S.....so [ ABCD ]  =  S^2

 

The  heght of  the  equilateral  triangle =  Ssqrt (2)

 

The  side  of  the equilateral  triangle  =  Ssqrt (2) * 2 / sqrt (3) =  (2/3)sqrt  (6)  S

 

Area  of  the  equilateral  trinagle = (1/2)  ( (2/3) sqrt (6 S))^2 sqrt (3)  / 2    =  (2sqrt(3) / 3 *  S^2

 

Ratio  of      area  of    square  to  area  of  equilateral triangle =   S^2  /   [ 2sqrt (3)  / 3 * S^2  ]   =

 

3 / [2 sqrt (3) ]   =   sqrt (3)  / 2

3)  Let DC =  x     and  BD  =  8  -   x

 

Since  AD  is  an angle  bisector, we  have  the following relationship

 

AB/ BD =  AC / DC

 

6/ (8 - x)  =  10 / x               cross-multiply

 

6x  =  10  (8- x)

 

6x  =  80   - 10x

 

6x + 10x  =  80

 

16x  =  80

 

x = 80 / 16   =   5  =   DC

 

The  area  of  triangle   ADC  =  (1/2) (AB) (DC)  = (1/2)(6)(5)  = 15
