C. Because c is makes more sense
Answer:
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the original length of the piece of metal
y ----> the original width of the piece of metal
we know that
When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box
The dimensions of the box are

The volume of the box is equal to


so

simplify
-----> equation A
Remember that
The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A

solve for y

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solution is y=16
see the attached figure
Find the value of x

therefore
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

I hope this helps!
Answer would be C.
Why A would be incorrect: 100m^2 is 100m × 100 m. That would be as big as a football field.
Why B would be incorrect: 1cm^2 is 1cm × 1cm. You can use a regular 15 cm to measure a piece of paper with the length of 1cm each side.
Why C would be correct: 1m^2 = 1m × 1m and it is also equals to 60cm × 60 cm. A 1 meter ruler = 60 cm = 4 times of your average 15 cm ruler. So, it is reasonable that a classroom is 10m by 10m in length and breadth.
Why D would be incorrect: The same explanation applies to here as well. Things that can be measured with 1m × 1m is a square table so your classroom can't be that small to fit an average of 30 to 40 students in there.
I hope my explanations were detailed and easy to understand. :)
The answer is A because 8 is where you started and each time the x number goes up by on the y number goes down by seven (-7)
