Option C:
Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter
Solution:
Area of the square paper = sq. cm
Area of the square corner removed = 16 sq. cm
Let us find the area of the remaining paper.
Area of the remaining paper = Area of the square paper – Area of the corner
Area of the remaining =
=
Using algebraic formula:
Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter
Hence (3x – 4)(3x + 4) represents area of the remaining paper in square centimeters.
