Answer:
578 + 48 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the area of the purple band is as follows:
Area of the green square = side^2 = x^ square inches
And, the area of the orange square = side^2
The side would be = = 12 + 12 +x = 24 + x
And, now the area would be = (x + 24)^2
Now the area of the orange band is
= Area of the orange square area of the green square
= (x + 24)^2 - x^2
= x^2 + 24^2 + 48 - x^2
= 578 + 48 square inches
