You have a piece of square piecepaper, which is 20cm by 20cm. Area = 400cm^2.

For some reason, you need a square piece of paper that has an area of 200cm^2.

Using the paper you have, what's an easy way of getting the new square without using a ruler?

Would you cut it in half (then you'd have a rectangle of 200sq.cm), then fold that rectangle in half (so you'd have a sq. that has it's 2 sides equally 200sq.cm)?

ahhh, you never said how far inwards, so here's my answer:

You fold all the corners right to the center, and you're left with a square that is 100cmsq.

I;m not expecting to get this, lol.
