PrepSwift: Inscribed Polygon Problems II Q3

[user5350]

I understand the explanation behind the question. However, my understanding was that B>A only when squares ABCD and EFGH are identical. But since that wasn’t explicitly mentioned, I chose D. Does that mean, regardless of whether squares ABCD and EFGH are identical or not, B>A?

Yes

The side length of the outer square is equal to the diagonal of square ABCD, but it is less than the length of the diagonal EG in square EFGH. Thus, squares ABCD and EFGH aren’t identical.
