Question

When each side of a square is increased by 2 metre, the area becomes 64 square metres. What is the length

of a side of the original square?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a-2)^2 = 64

(a-2)= 8

a= (8+2)= 10 meter

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let length of side be X

according to the question

area of square= (side)^2

(X+2)^2=64

X+2=√64

X+2=8

X=8-2

x=6

so the side of the original square is 6m
