Today’s Puzzle - 👑 Adventures in Puzzlevania 3
It’s been a long time since your last journey to Puzzlevania. Fortunately, this time you don’t have any cake-stealing trolls to deal with. Instead, you’re here to answer a summons from the queen of Puzzlevania herself. You arrive at her castle and make your way to the throne room, where the queen sits at the far end of the room. You bow. The queen welcomes you, and tells you she has long respected your puzzle solving skills. As a token of appreciation, she continues, she wants to grant you some land in her kingdom.
“How much land?” you ask.
In response, one of the queen’s courtiers pulls out a map and presents it to you.
“This is a map of one of my districts,” the queen explains. “The district is a perfect square, and it is subdivided into five rectangular parcels, which are all the same area. The green parcel is yours, if only you can tell me the area of the whole district.”
The queen sits back on her throne and awaits your answer. What is the total area of the district?
