if the sides of a sq. are increased by 2 (m) the area becomes 25 sq. (m) find the lgth. of the original sq?

Question

if the sides of a square are increased by 2 meters, the area becomes 25 square meters. Find the lgth. of a side of the original square.

Answer 1

5x5=25
5-2=3

Answer 2

Easy if the sides are increased by 2 they became x+2
the area is the square of that length
so(x+2)^2 =25m^2
x+2 = square root of 25 =5 and x=3
the length of one side is 3m
and the perimeter is 4*3=12m

Answer 3

25 sq meters means a square that is 5 meters on each side since 5 is the square root of 25.

Since it increased by 2 meters it means the original square was three meters on each side.

Answer 4

Let s be the side of the original square, then

A = s^2

Now let s -> s+2 so that

A1 = 25 =(s+2)^2 take sqrt of both sides

5 = s+2 ---> s = 3

Answer 5

Okay, since the new square is 25 square meters, the length of one side measures 5m. Therefore, the original square has side legnth of 5-2=3m.

Answer 6

(x+2)(x+2)=25
(x+2)^2=25
Take the square root of both sides
ignore the negative because we are doing length
x+2=5
x=3
orginal length= 3
CHECK
3X3=9
(3+2)(3+2)=25
(5)5=25
25=25

Answer 7

The original side's length is 3m.

That's because 25m^2 = 5m x 5m, and 5m - 2m = 3m.

Live long and prosper.

Answer 8

3 mts

Answer 9

3meters
