Answer:
The remaining piece measures 16 m
which agrees with answer D
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to make a square of area 25 m^2, we need a square of side 5 m ,
Area of square = side^2
25 = side^2 then each side = 5 m
therefore the person needed 4 times 5 m to create the square, that is 20 m for the square. Therefore the piece that is left can be calculated with the difference:
36 m - 20 m = 16 m
The remaining piece measures 16 m
