Step 1 . Given

Given that the length of each side of the square = 2s.

The shaded region is a square with each side = s.

Step 2 . To determine

We have to find the ratio of the area of the shaded region to the area of the unshaded region.

Step 3 . Calculation

We will use this concept:

Area of the unshaded region = area of the square – area of the shaded region.

The area of the big square is given by:

$\begin{matrix} Area = {(side)}^{2} \\ = {(2 s)}^{2} \\ = 4 s^{2} \end{matrix}$

The area of the shaded region or the area of the smaller square is given by:

$\begin{matrix} Area = {(side)}^{2} \\ = {(s)}^{2} \\ = s^{2} \end{matrix}$

Hence,

Area of the unshaded region

= area of the square – area of the shaded region.

= $4 s^{2} - 1 s^{2}$

= $3 s^{2}$

So, the ratio of the area of the shaded region to the area of the unshaded region is given as,

The area of the shaded region: the area of the unshaded region

$\begin{array}{l} = s^{2} : 3 s^{2} \\ = 1 : 3 \end{array}$

Hence, the ratio of the area of the shaded region to the area of the unshaded region is 1:3.
