Jason’s Method “I drew a square all round the tilted square. I then took away the area of the four right triangles.”

Kate’s Method “I divided the tilted squares into four right triangles and little squares inside.”

Simon’s Method “I found the area inside the bold line is the same area as the tilted square and used that.”
