I have absolutely no idea where I am. If this is in the wrong section, I profusely apologise!

Basically, I've been set a task at work and it involves a few calculations of figures. Not exactly my area, but related to my area. My math skills are pretty much non-existent and I just need someone to help talk me through it, see if my existing calculations are right and if not, help me get them right.

Please?? Need help!

Hello cactuar and welcome to MHB! :D

Post your problem and we'll see what we can do. :)
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
