Best Answer

There are many methods to do this. One is to calculate the are of the enitire figure. Then figure out the area of the smaller area. Then divide the smaller figure's area by the larger figure's area and change the answer to a percent. For example, if you were asked to figure out what percent of square A with sides measuring 5 cm was covered by square B (which is completely inside of square A) with sides of 1 cm. 1. Calculate the are of square A. 25 cm2 2. Calculate the are of square B. 1 cm2 3. Divide square B by square A. 1/25 or 0.04 4. Convert to a percent. 4%
