Diagonal of 1^(st)  square = ((12(√2))/2)  Diagonal of 2^(nd)  square = ((12(√2))/4)  Diagonal of 3^(rd)  square = ((12(√2))/8)  Area of 1^(st)  square = (((12(√2))/2))^2 ÷ 2 = 36  Area of 2^(nd)  square = (((12(√2))/4))^2 ÷ 2 = 9  Area of 3^(rd)  square = (((12(√2))/8))^2 ÷ 2 = (9/4)  This is a GP with a = 36 and r = (1/4) .  Sum of 10 terms = ((36)/(1 − (1/4))) = 48  Hence sum of areas of all these squares  is 48 sq. units.  Area remaining = 144 − 48 = 96 sq. units
