A square support unit in a television is made with a side measuring 5 centimeters. A new model being designed for the upcoming year will have a larger square with a side measuring 5.2 centimeters. By how much will the area of the square be increased?

Question

$$A1 = (5)^2 = 25$$$$A2 = (5.2)^2 = 27.04$$



so the increase in the area is :

A(increased) = 27.04 - 25
                   = 2.04 

so it increased by 2.04 ^_^
