Find the area of the shaded green square in the blue isosceles right triangle,
whose legs have length 6 cm.
\(\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline 3x &=& 6\sqrt{2} \quad | \quad : 3 \\ x &=& 2\sqrt{2} \\ x^2 &=& 4\cdot 2 \\ \mathbf{x^2} &=& \mathbf{8} \\ \hline \end{array}\)
The area of the shaded green square is \(\mathbf{8}\)
