OpenStudy (anonymous):

im happy to help. do you need help on anything else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, please, I not a math wiz. Here is the next problem. If the sides of a square are lengthened by 6cm, the area becomes 196cm^2. Find the length of a side of the original square. The length of a side of the original square is _cm.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright so you are dealing with a square which have 4 sides and each side was lengthened by 6cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is and extra 24cm right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

each side is equal so from here you are going to subtract 24 from 196 and get 172\[196-24=172\] \[172\div4\] 43cm for each side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the original lenghth of the square is 43cm but after it is 49cm. was that helpful?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that was very helpful, thank you so much for helping me.
