Answer:
6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
If the original side length is x, then the modified square has an area of ...
A = LW
32 = (x +2)(x -2) = x^2 -4
36 = x^2 . . . . . . . . add 4
6 = x . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
The original figure has a side length of 6 cm.

<em>Check</em>
The modified figure is 8 cm by 4 cm = 32 cm^2.
Potato Flakes: 2 cups
Boiling Water: 1 1/2 cups
Inside the root is 50-1
50-1 = 49
You would remain with root 49 but, if you calculate the square root the answer would be 7 because...
7•7 = 49
^ So, the answer is 7
Here is your answer:
In order to find your answer we will have to solve each option separately to see which one equals 6 × 5.
<---- Not the answer
<----- Not the answer
<---- Your answer
Therefore your answer is option C "6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 ."
Hope this helps!
