13. One corner of a square is folded to its centre to form an irregular pentagon as shown in the diagram. The area of the square is 1 unit greater than the area of the pentagon. What is the area of the square?
A 2
B 4
C 8
D 16
E 32
13. C The area of the darker triangle in the diagram is $\frac{1}{8}$ of the area of the whole square and this also represents the difference between the area of the square and the area of the pentagon. Hence $\frac{1}{8}$ of the area of the square is equal to 1 unit and so the area of the whole square is 8 units.
